On Writing through the Noise

I wanted to try writing a fake ToK post where I pretend to care about something that I clearly do not. I also wrote it with the screen off, so any grammatical errors are straight up me. The result is as follows.

I am currently in a room where everyone is spouting bits of insanity, thereby causing me to be rather incapable of continuous academic thought. I hesitate between each of these sentences as I lose concentration. I'm forced to wonder whether this is a spawn of the current circumstances' intensity or a new development in my cognitive psyche. Generally, I pride myself for an almost pirate sense of concentration (pirates of course being somewhere between quite and very focused at all times).

So now, as I muse this situation I am currently locked in, I become introspective. What's up with that? Is it not akin to dragons firing their heated breath down upon the unsuspecting village? It seems strange that an approaching obstacle leads me not to examine the outside universe, but the inside me. How annoying.

Seriously; have you ever tried writing something with Kimson sitting next to you? It is like a giant gnat that needs to be slapped.

I do however believe that this is the natural tendency of a human being, to question first one's own inadequacies and then return for the outside world when one's self reveals no fault (we are incapable of seeing our imminent faults as a defense mechanism, I think) That is the nature of a thinker. I certainly like to consider myself a thinker.

Therefore, while I suppose this loud room has left me with a recognition of self. Even though I have temporarily left academics behind, I've gained.

Or, I've gained nothing. Either way, that's something.

Wait... What?
