Measure for Measure

I sit here in the call center of Undergraduate Admissions with the gray facial coloring of a zombie, slow dragged- out speech, and a brain that is wound so tightly its about to unravel completely.

I spent twelve hours spanning yesterday afternoon to the wee hours of this morning writing a paper for my Law, Literature, and History course. After having classes from 10am-1pm I sat down to my computer with little to no direction. My professor did not assign a topic for the paper- a challenge I imagine he saw fit for a course comprised of three broad areas of study. The door was open- I could write about a play we've read, any of our classroom discussions, an interesting court case, a book that relates to the course (and any book could relate to the course) or our thoughts on history and the law in general. After an hour of debating with myself I decided to analyze the crime in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure according to ethics, justice, and the law. It was quite the feat- one I could not be happier to be done with.

With that said, the Jason Mraz concert is tonight! If only I weren't so exhausted...

I just remembered, this weekend is Columbus day Weekend! You know what that means...no classes on Monday! It couldn't come at a better time...

I hate when professors don't give you a direction, but nice job picking one out, I'm sure you did fine!
