Just finished first of two take-home midterms. What was supposed to be a series of short essay questions and one complete essay turned into a tome weighing in at 15 pages. When I called ~R~ for some last-minute help filling in a nine-month gap in the French Revolution between 1790 and 1791 with the change-over from the National Assembly to - er, whaever damn part that came next - he told me I was nuts, and to wrap the damn thing up and call it good. The two hour conversation that followed was the closest thing to a social life I've had all semester.

Took another hour of fine tuning, but Mid-term the First is printed and by god, it is finished.

Now, one more take-home mid-term to crank out, a math mid-term day after tomorrow, and a Spanish presentation tomorrow night.
