Writer's Block

I am in college, and am often required to write essays and papers. It's amazing to me how much time I spend simply staring at the blank screen, wondering what to type, as I did for several minutes when deciding what to blog about just now. The time spent trying to be witty and creative is wasted. I am a biology major, so creativity and wit are completely lost on my instructors. All they care about are facts. This is why I don't understand myself ever having writer's block anymore. I haven't taken a composition class since sophomore year, and thus have not been required to do anything but present facts and elaborate on them. I have opinions. I have thoughts. So why is it so difficult to just write? No reason. And so I blog. Here, I can spend any pent up smart-ass-ishness, then get right down to business when trying to write about invasive species, cellular respiration, or ribonucleic acid. I won't have any specific theme or idea for this blog; I'll just write about what's on my mind on any given day. Ham, for example.
Ham is delicious, but can be dangerous for those of us trying to shed a few extra pounds. Lean ham is much smarter, as the fat content is often ridiculously low, something like 98% fat free. This and cottage cheese, fat free, of course, have been staples in my current 22-pound victory. I hope to shed about 30 more, and am well on the way.
Speaking of that, it is now lunch time, and I am off to please my pallet. Over and out.
