Granted, I’m not a fan of homework.  Well…of MY homework that is.  For the kids?  OH HELL YEAH.  BRING IT.  But for me….not so much.

Yeah…I’ve been in school now for about a month.  And sure, I’ve had homework.  I’ve got Algebra & French for 2 of the 4 classes.  Show me a 5-day-a-week class teacher who doesn’t assign homework & I’ll show you a cat with bad breath.

Its like Catholics without guilt, Scots without a drink.  (Shut it…I’m both, so I can rag).   The thing that separates this weekend from the others?

History.  2 papers worth.  WTF?!?!?

I have 2…yes, TWO papers due Thursday.  And since I have shit-megaton of homework for Algebra & French EVERY DAY….I figured out I’d knock both history papers out this weekend.

Easier said than done.

Yeah, I like to write.  But I like to write crap, I LIKE.  And stop with the “Hey!  I thought you dug history” looks.  Yeah…I DO like history.  But I also like watching boxing.  Doesn’t mean I wanna get punched in the face though.

So 2 papers.  One of them is for my oral presentation on Thursday (I’m writing it on the Zimmermann Telegram…don’t know what that is?  THEN OPEN A HISTORY BOOK!!) and the other is on the writings of Booker T. Washington & W.E.B. Du Bois, a comparative essay.

So here I sit…in massive pain (I can’t play Rock Band anymore without hurting myself…and yes, I WAS downstairs playing….shut it MOM!!), trying to figure out how to begin.

I think I’ll do the Zimmermann paper, the French take-home quiz (I LOVE IT WHEN SHE DOES THAT!!) and the algebra homework.  I’ll save the comparative essay for Tuesday night.

Hey….a girls gotta chill.  And besides…..it ain’t like Booker T. or Du Bois are going anywhere in a hot minute.  AND…tonight is my True Blood season finale.  I need to get my Eric fix. 

OK…time for this girl to chill in a cool bath.    Until later…..

-Jen…signing off.
