Ouch.
Does anyone ever get cramps in their legs when they're lying in bed at night? I know that a lot of people get them when they're swimming or exercising, but I always seem to get them when I'm trying to sleep. And it doesn't make sense. Last night I got the worst one ever, and I was screaming and Sarah had to come and massage my leg - but that just made it worse, and made it hurt more. I couldn't even grab my leg without it hurting, I couldn't flex my foot because my calf muscle had seized up so badly. Sarah tried to explain it had something to do with lactic acid and that it may have something to do with the thyroid condition I may have inherited from my mum, because you're not meant to cramp while you're sleeping. I'm not sure if that's right. And this is why I'd like to know if anyone else ever gets leg cramps while they're sleeping, because then I'll know it's not just me.
Anyway. My calf is still cramped up today, which is unusual. Fun times, kiddies.
I have an awesome idea for one of my histroy essays. We have to come up with our own question, but one of the lecturer's ideas was to write about resistance during WWII in Europe and how that fits into national narratives. Something like that. So I thought I'd narrow that down to one country, which is France because they've more sources, and I have some familiarity with the language, which is a great help because historians seem to assume that translations are pointless. But then I thought writing about resistance is boring, and the French do tosh on about it a bit too much, so I'll talk about collaboration instead. Fun! Cause that's a subject the French aren't touchy about at all.
TCM doesn't want me to write my essays. The Shop Around The Corner, The Philadelphia Story and Four Wives in the one week? I am doomed to fail history and just watch James Stewart and Priscilla Lane movies for the rest of my life.
