We complain about the expo… why? 4-6 pages seems like a lot but only compared to the amount of work we’ve had the rest of the year, which was very little (I speak for the non-honors class). I’d just like to point out that Tim right now is working on a 17-page* paper for St. John’s. Not only is that over 4 times the length (assuming we all do the bare minimum), but it’s also graded by teachers from St. Johns. I can only imagine they make Dorr look like a synonym for easy. Very easy indeed. I told you that for 2 reasons. 1.Because Tim is the most modest person I know and would never tell you that himself, and 2. So maybe the few who read this will shut the fuck up and take the 4-page paper. It’s not even that the complaining bothers me, it’s that you don’t realize NHS is probably going to be the easiest time of your life aside from (maybe) retirement. Look at MCAS. Kids complain about that too. I know, ridiculous, something like 26 multiple choice and 4 short answer questions per section, and we’re only given 3 hours in school, unless of course it (somehow) takes you longer, in which case you have an unlimited amount of time, and 5 attempts before graduation. Face it, NHS is a good time. If you want to argue that I don’t care enough to defend myself. Just try to stop being negative; it brings other people down too.
