   History Lessons
School is in session this week! I have to do a "Research Project" aka "Final Paper" in Social studies. The rough draft is due thursday on top of a newer friggin' assignment for our "Model United Nations" where I'm India, speaking on the topic of female infanticide or something like that. -____- great.

Not only that, but I have to read Jane Eyre, and I got a 57 (F) on the last pop reading quiz because I didn't read two chapters out of the 6! Just my luck that half the quiz is on the last two chapters. ARGH!

My day got even better when my power point presentation became corrupt, and now I have to start again. Thank GOD I got an extentsion.

I have so much friggin' shit this week that now I know why people gasp when you say you're taking all honors. -.-; but I'll muddle through it.

In the meantime, I have a history lesson for all of you. My paper is on the Munich Agreement (which said: give Hitler the Czech-Sudetenland and he won't take over anymore land and war is avoided; feel free to add to that, dearest Ken!), which I have been told by Ken, is very boring. Yes, I know. -.-; Groups of four had to pick a country and take their side on the war, so my group chose Germany, and my arguement for the Munich Pact was that it was a good thing (duh). Here are some fun facts for all of you on the Munich Pact; one for today and one for yesterday:

The Italian ambassador Bernado Attolico informed Hitler, in his weak German, of Benito Mussolini’s statement: “Morgen 11 Uhr München!” - “Munich 11 A.M. tomorrow!” Hitler laughed. Evidently, Berlin was too far for Mussolini, so the conference was held in Munich.

Throughout the conference Hitler toyed with a watch - it is said he must have borrowed it expressedly for the purpose, because he never wore one - it was probably for effect, as if implying that he might order his troops to the Sudetenland at any moment.
