Books & Exams & Theodore Roosevelt

     I have completed every single one of my exams, and I have ONE essay left. And I have to rewrite the Good Samaritan. BUT THEN I'LL BE DONNNNEEE! WITH NINTH GRAAAAADE!

    So, although I didn't do as well as I'd have liked on my history exam [I did do better than the Midterm], I wasn't nearly as much of a mess before or after I finished it.
    You see, my history teacher is one of my favorite people. He put a certain question smack in the middle of the exam, and not only did it make me laugh aloud, it relieved quite a bit of timed-quiz stress. 

   Behold. This picture of our 26th president wrestling a crocodile has been used as an example all year by Mr. N of why Teddy Roosevelt is the best president ever. 
   And so, with this photograph, he captioned a multiple choice question in every single answer pointed only to the first one, "Pick A," "Why aren't you picking A?" "Seriously?"
    The point of this was to share a smidgen of wisdom: If you're ever a teacher, BE PASSIONATE about your subject. 'Cuz it helps your students. I love history even more than I did before this year.

  On a different note, I reorganized my bookshelf this past week and realized that I needn't buy any more books for at least three months because there's quite I few I haven't read that got buried behind their brethren.

   ...Note the word, "needn't."

   I had a conversation with Matt the other day about how absolutely convenient it would be if I had Loki's superpower and could multiply myself whenever I felt the need.

*I would have...

   NO, but just think about it;
 I would solve my problem of never having enough time to finish books.
   I could read whenever and wherever I wished without worrying about looking rude.
     I would never actually need to go anywhere I didn't want to.
        I could get all my exams done in one day, and homework in mere hours.
           I could easily mess with people.
              And I would be able to travel and stay at home at the SAME TIME.
 
    If I can't have multiplying powers, I'd really just like to be able to solve that reading problem by sitting in the TARDIS and pouring over all my books. I would never run out of time, do you see?

   This post was random and a bit unsubstantial, but I apologize. I have no excuse. 3:

   A little update from Elly. 

   Liz, you should share your drawing of Anna because it is superb.
