sechan19So, writing through this paper for the mini-happyô-kai is making me keenly aware of the fact that I have progressed to the point where I can write fairly complex academic papers (short papers, mind you, but papers nonetheless) in Japanese.
In my calmer moments, I'm capable of remembering that often the best progress comes from doing things one doesn't particularly want to do. But usually (for me, anyway) a tantrum must precede said doing. Anyway, the writing's rolling along now, and I'm actually feeling pretty good about this paper - which is sort of weird.
But I think I might come out of this whole experience as a fledgling coffee drinker, and I don't know how I feel about that. ;>
Anyway, we now return you to your regularly scheduled blah blah blah.

You could fight the temptation, and prove yourself stronger than such temporary solutions and can pull off wondrous academic feats without such a "boost." (At least, that's my excuse for not drinking coffee. Sounds better than simply saying I don't particularly like the smell.)
