Comma splice.

I’m in the midst of writing my final essay of the semester. It’s only 1500 words and I am struggling (I'm currently at 346). I feel like all my intelligent critical thoughts have been used up. I need this vacation to mentally power down and start storing new intellectual ideas to write about next semester. Ahah just kidding, I have to read a pile of Shakespeare, novels, poems and critical essays… there is no time to let my brain relax. But I guess that’s why I write here. Anyways, I must get back to discussing the effect of gossip in regards to Jane Austen’s thrilling masterpiece Emma. Note: I use to love this novel but this will be the fifth time I’ve written on it. Hint to the English department: other novels have in fact been written, and by Austen too.
Also, the 'comma splice' is my mortal enemy.
