This Week, I've Read:

  • a sobering account of participating in a Haitian political demonstration that turned deadly
  • an explanation of why a high school basketball team was like a family
  • a presentation of biblical and scientific arguments against abortion
  • an outline of a student's uber-laid back life philosophy
  • an introduction to the ethnic and religious tensions in Kazakhstan
  • a preliminary brainstorm on whether or not guys and girls can be "just friends"
  • an evaluative essay on the cancer treatment center where the author was a patient
  • a harrowing tale of a summer camp mishap and ensuing identity crisis
  • a gentle tale of longing for a friend's salvation
  • a primer on escaping cultural missteps in England
  • a review of a 12 Stones album
  • two, slightly contradictory, reviews of Cibo! restaurant downtown
  • a review of the Shane and Shane album Upstairs
  • a freewrite on the Nigerian obsession with cellphones that rambled on in delicious detail
  • the dreaded paper on Ordinary Men for Follett's history class
  • an exploration of the legality and ethics of the payday loan industry
  • an opinion on the projected sustainability of the dollar as the dominant currency
  • a critical review of the marketing strategy and business practices of Abercrombie & Fitch
  • a comparison of the merits of online trading and long-term investing
  • my own historiography paper on Heinrich Wolfflin which is being revised for grad school applications

And now, I must say, every single one of those papers are less ambiguous, more concrete, or more coherent. Some of them are even all three.

I like my job.
