Ah comme c'est beau c'est la revolution
So fuck. I just finished my paper which is like 18 pages? Sort of long. I really hate page restrictions. 300 classes. Whatever.
Anyway its good. I mean, I'm happy with it. I didn't consult many sources, actually, not really. But I read an entire book cover to cover, called Red Flag/Black Flag: French Revolution 1968, penguin, which i would reccomend because its a great read anyway. And often I find that to be way better research for a paper, like, when I read 250 pages of one reliable source, rather than portions of 6 or 7 different books. I mean, I understand the sentiment, but I really think some rigidly outlined structures for papers are sort of silly, they're narrowminded. I mean, if I had more time, I'd fully read more sources in their entirety to prepare for a paper, gladly. But at this level, the way school is, I don't have much really, terms are short, I have other shit to read, whatever. I could try harder and probably read two, but not much more than that I'd think. I'd rather read one fully than patch together research though from a bunch of places just to meet that requirement, so the 6 book rule is sort of lame. Its too elementary. Its like, yeahhh I know *how* to do that, can I just learn this in my own way now?
Anyway, yeah, I learned tons from this book. I really feel like I know Cohn-Bendit and sauvageot, and Mitterand, or whatever. It was an amazing fucking time at that revolution. I mean, I wouldn't have neccessariy thought it was going to be the read that it was. Great fucking story. And that its real is so cool. The strike at Nantes is way interesting. Fuck and the strike of broadcasting, and a bunch of stuff. There was some cool stuff about that month. Anyway, i'm really glad its done. The paper I mean, not the revolution.
So, I filched a bowl off my neighbours, which is kind of lame, but i'll get them back swear. now I'm all high. Which I guess is alright, but its really grey out, and like, 6 on a saturday. Do I want to go out? Could go to this party with my friend sean, could go to a show, but i don't feel like doing anything right now, really. eh.
Maybe i'll call robert and mark. watch t.v.? Its cool just to hang out. I just really don't know if i want to go out. I'm fucking exhausted. I've been up lots of two days doing this paper.
Its weird to write papers, go to school. My hours are so unique to me. I'm on different time. My work gets done and its all good, the time I make to do it is up to me. I really like that. I will miss that about school. Scheduled work time. ech.

Damn. Its late. I'm going to eat. later.
