I’m helping a friend with a university essay (read that as writing it :P) and I’m actually really loving it. It’s a topic I’ve never studied before but it’s in the humanities and has lots of overlap with politics so it’s not alien territory but it’s all coming to me so easily.

I’ve spent chunks of the day going through the required readings today and making notes. I’m actually procrastinating from doing more reading by writing this post… some things never change.

Anyway, I read this one article and I was making connections left, right, and centre. I was talking to the guys about it at work and they were wondering why on earth I was researching this topic about guys who lived 200 years ago. I had this giddy grin on my face when I realised this one perspective about this guy and his opinions and how they evolved over a 15 year period.

I’m totally rambling. The bitch of it is that I have about 300 pages to read and I’ve only read about 40… the cool thing is that I’m going to be more prepared to write this paper when I start than I ever have been before. I’m thinking about it in ways I never thought about any of the papers I had to write before because this is purely for pleasure.

I’ve still got it.

That’s only a good thing.

If you would like me to write a paper for you… Haha…
