Let's end it on this

I have to write a seminar paper for History. You will not believe how fucking easy this course is. My paper is 800 words plus I have to give a presentation with a couple of other girls. I have to talk for maybe 5 minutes. My essay for the semester is 1500 words. I mean I wrote 1500 the other day in one sitting. I could sit here and write 800 words. Granted they wouldn't be very academic but it is nothing. Not that I am complaining. Course not. But Jesus. 800 words.

What's my subject? Well I took Gender again because 'some religious battle in France' was already full. But I decided not to do femininity this year. It was the same question I'd answered last year and I mean 800 words, I may as well read something new right? Challenge myself.

Could men lose their claim to manhood in early modern Europe?

That is my paper.

I also learned about Satyr burlesque but that's a whole nother subject.

History... I was actuially better at history than I am at English but there's only so much WW2 and WW1I can take.

That paper you're planning on writing sounds interesting though. Maybe it'd inspire one to write a story based on a modern day equivalent (Me and my old friends had a strange ritual in Weston; you could only be a Man if you jumped from a very tall tree house and BROKE something. If you didn't, you weren't a Man. Needless to say, our group of friends was very short on Men.)
