For own reference.

Guys, I am (failing at) writing a dissertation chapter on linguistics (of which I have only ever taken a few hours' worth of classes) w/r/t the intercourse of Latin (which I have never studied) and Old Irish (the modern evolution of which I only know in theory), and what conclusions might or might not be drawn from such re: Roman presence in Ireland (inconclusive).

This shit is bad enough when you have increasing difficulty understanding and deciphering papers on subjects you have studied for YEARS. I actually just want to make a fort of books and cry.
