and now you're mine

You know when you're little and you get a good grade and your mom puts the paper on the fridge for dad to see when he gets home?

Matt's test with a big red 91 on it is hanging on our fridge. Apparantly, it's just as satisfying when you've reached your senior year of college.

I'm supposed to be reading right now, like hardcore buckle-down don't-look-up-for-a-moment reading. I have over 200 pages to catch up on for a midterm at 1pm tomorrow. Fuckity fuck fuck.

My test will not be making it to the refrigerator.

"The midterm and final will include IDs and essay questions. IDs will ask you to briefly identify the historical term, person, or event. Essay questions may require you to address a specific historical question, compare historical time periods, events, or persons. A good essay should be well written, clearly organized, address directly the question posed, and incorporate historical documents and facts in support of your answer."

I'm expected to write 7-9 paragraphs tomorrow on a subject I'm sorely behind on. I getthe concepts, I see how everything connects, I just worry about describing historical time periods and paraphrasing excerpts about how "sorcery, pagan religion, folklore...[and] Christian heresy" set the stage for the European witch-craze or the Malleus Maleficarum's explanation of why women are more likely to be witches...those are the essays I'm hoping for. It's one of those "here's four possibilities, I'll give you two options and you choose one to answer" essay things. This class should be so cool but I'm fucking it up by not reading.

yargh.
