I have been sitting here for three hours now, trying to figure things out.  You see, I have to write a philosophy essay for tomorrow, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it started.

Up to this point, I have never had problems working on assignments, but I guess that I must have writer’s block.  I have tried so many things including going out of my hose to get inspired, but so far, nothing has worked.  If I don’t get things figured out soon, I will be in big trouble as the essay is worth 45% of my mark.

Maybe I will go over the essay topics one more time to see if I can find something to inspire me.  If I cannot figure it out soon, I just don’t know what I will do.  Maybe I will go talk to the professor to see if he has any ideas - it can’t hurt.
