What's Cooler Than Cool?

Ice cold. (Shake it like a Polaroid picture!)

Ahem.

Anyway, I'm not as stressed out as you'd expect for someone who has to do (minimal) revisions to a paper for this afternoon, has an exam tonight she hasn't really studied for, has an exam she is in no way prepared for on Thursday, has a group project due Thursday, a paper due Thursday, and a proposal for another project due Thursday.

I'm also not as stressed out as you'd expect for someone who has to do a semester-long research project on an Indian tribe with very little documentation. A big portion of the research is supposed to be on treaties, and my tribe doesn't have any. This will make my research challenging, eh? I have a feeling I'll be combing through other tribes' treaties to see if they affect my tribe one way or another.

I've already had to do more legwork than other students, because we were supposed to read two books and write a short paper on each. My tribe didn't have a second book. So I grubbed through the congressional records instead. I played with the microfiche machines that never want to freaking print properly. I followed a bill from the House to the Senate to the House to the Senate...and had to read all their bureaucratic gobbledygook.

On the plus side, I'll be a stronger researcher for all my trouble. On the down side, this one class is taking too much of my valuable time.
