I'm sleepy. That's not to say, however, that I'm sleepy.

Just had to take a break from my homework to say this.

1) I am now a unit of measure when it comes to mess.


2) I haven't taken a full-on history course since.....since maybe the summer before 11th grade. And I forgot how confusing history text books are. You gotta love it. There's stuff that's like"

"In the period leading up to the Civil War, the South was A, B, C, and D."

And what follows is several pages explaining how the South was A, B, C, and D.

And then the book gets scared that you'll get the wrong impression, so it then says something like:

"That's not to say, however, that the South was A, B, C, and D."


WHAT??!?! YOU JUST TOLD ME IT WAS! YOU WENT ON ABOUT IT FOR FIVE PAGES! AND NOW YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR FUCKING MIND? OR WERE YOU LYING OR SOMETHING?! WHY IS THIS SO GODDAMN CONFUSING! JUST TELL ME WHAT THE SOUTH WAS LIKE BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. DON'T SAY IT AND THEN CONTRADICT YOURSELF!!

Seriously, if the book were written in simpler terms and it were about a person, here's what an equivalent paragraph would look like.
(The "I"s in these sentences are not talking about me.)
"I am a serious student. I study hard, I do my homework, and I try to learn even what won't be on the final--I learn it just because I find it interesting. I thoroughly enjoy learning and being in school, and I put in a lot of effort to ensure that the experience will continue to be a good one and that I will get something meaningful out of it all. That's not to say, however, that I take education seriously."

WHAT?!?!?!
