mellow

I think we all appreciated class on Friday, because most of us were sick. Or at least incubating an illness they now have. Wash your hands often! Take a vitamin! Don't stress out! Don't share cups!!

Dear World Politics,

I wish everyone the best with their coughs, ailments, and papers. As I'm writing this, we all have a little less than 15 hours to submit our final drafts. Most of yall are still awake, working on the papers I presume. I can hear you--quiet hours, hell-ohhh. Twelve hundred seems like a large number, but everything is comparative, so try to keep that in mind. St Augustine of Hippo spent 13 years writing 22 volumes for his book The City of God. Imagine trying to write 22 volumes on anything. Imagine trying to dedicate 13 years to writing 22 volumes on one singular topic. At least it's only 4ish pages, and at least it's only one quick week. It's not off hovering in the corner for more than a decade.

In conclusion, feel better and good luck.
Love,
Maggy
