"What's on your mind?" Ito ang mas masiglang sinasagot kaysa sa pangangailangan ng thesis.Nauubos na ang panahon. The time is running out. (Salin, 2010)Sa kada pagkakataong makapagpapahinga, gagapang ang mga daliri sa keyboard at makikita na lamang ang sariling sinasagutan ang nag-iisang tanong na "What's on your mind?"-- at yan ang magsisilbing status sa Facebook.

Hindi makaligtaan sa isang iglap ang bulong ng pangamba...at sa iba'y takot. Romanticized. Ito marahil ang sasabihin ng iba.

Sa yugtong iyon kung saan umabot na sa isang daan at labinlima ang pahina, nakaligtaan niyang pagtuunan ng pansin ang isang maiklian at pangkalahatang lagom ng kanyang isinulat. Kabalintunaan mang isipin ngunit mas naging mahirap ang pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng isang-pahinang-sanaysay kaysa sa mahabaang diskurso. Mas naging masalimuot ang internal na pakikipagtagisan ng isip kung kailan
