Nothing In Particular
Once in high school I wrote a paper I titled, " A Paper On Nothing In Particular". Can you believe that? I don't know why I just thought about it, but I did. I don't remember anything specific about the contents other than it was just a bunch of rambling on about how I could write a paper on any topic without any research.
For some reason I got an A- on it, I guess that means that it was written well. But what about content? There's no way that the content was deserving of an A-. I seem to think I still have that paper in a folder of other random high school stuff. I hope I can find it, I'd love to read that masterpiece now.
I think I thought of it because I have a paper due in a month about trench warfare in WWI, which is a subject I'm not really interested in. I was hoping to invoke those powers of bullshit to write the paper, but they seem to have vanished in the last ten years. Don't get me wrong, I can still talk it up with the best of them, but I'm drawing a blank on this topic. Which is unfortunate since the papers that I can B.S. through are usually more fun to read I think. But I guess I'm stuck doing this the "proper" way and reading all five books and writing some dry, pointless paper.
Suck!

Very appropriate, eh?

hmnmm...I always thought you'd be a WWI trench warfare guru, but now I'm crestfallen and shell-shocked.

In World Geography I had to write a paper on the Malaysian economy. I was so lazy I even forged my references, down to bogus authors. The grade you ask? B. I even turned it in a week late. It pissed off others in the class to no end. Good tims.

..The conquest of aztecs at rose?? Wow! And you passed said history classes? What the hell did they teach you in the Haute? In all my history classes, I never once heard about aztecs at rose, you'd think that'd be a major event in history!
