I have no idea how it got inside but I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye on the floor and my first thought was KILL THE SPIDER but it was one of the little tree frogs that I am so fond of. The poor thing was kinda dried out and just covered in pet hair and dust, dirt, all the crap that accumulates under furniture in this house. It was barely hopping, in fact I think I might have spotted it on the last hop it was going to be able to make.
I deposited it outside in some wet leaves and it was curled up and not looking in good shape at all. I kept dumping tap water on it from a shot glass and after a while it started to wipe it's head with one of it's forelegs so I took that as a good sign and filled a drinking glass with water and really hosed it down to wash the crap off it it. It hopped a couple times after that so I think it will be alright now.

I think I write pretty well. I have an English medal from my associates level classes in community college that says I kicked ass on my freshman and sophomore year papers.
Then you go on to science stuff and it's like "Fuck the beauty and majesty of the English language, how much information can you pack into as few lines as possible it doesn't matter if it requires three interpreters a deaf-mute jesuit savant and a supercomputer to translate it!"
Good science writing is impossible. Ok not impossible, but really really hard. The precision of language required totally sabotages attempts at readability. The best you can do is be concise and do your best to unambiguously convey the facts you need to convey. I can remember only two pleasant, readable scientific papers from my entire academic career.

I'm a little iffy on the bullfrogs but the tiny tree frogs are pretty adorable.
I went out to check on it again and it hasn't really moved from where it was but it's sitting properly now, not curled up like its dying, and it rained quite heavily today so it should be fine for now. If it's still there in the morning I will catch it again and deposit it at the creek.

It didn't used to be terrible. There was a time when it was readable. I hate modern scientific writing so much.

My thesis was breezy and casual before my adviser sent it back to me 24354564534231 times, each time with a petty complaint poking holes in the way that my use of language could potentially be misinterpreted. I ended up sneaking all the easy to read bits and key scaffolding info into figure captions, which he was way less harsh on. You can actually read my thesis and get more out of it by studying only the figures and captions.

My thesis is breezy and casual and also uses the allegory of the cave to explain a particular thing about image processing because I wanted to. Advisor got no say in it (he did turn the one paper I wrote into jargony trash though, and I couldn't fight it. But my own damn dissertation was going to be in my voice).
They're common throughout the south and completely harmless (as are all North American frogs, but NOT toads. There are some toads that are pet hazards).

Hopefully it'll be possible! I thought that my advisor would be an issue after what he did to our paper, but he only really quibbled with minor points of content in my dissertation, and had no problems with the style. Maybe your advisor will also allow you to have editorial control.
You can really tell how article writing has descended into jargony stupidity when you do broad searches and read some really old articles from the 40's and earlier.
