Stupid World History and King Lear

tabular_rasaIn World History, we're doing reports on religion. I am very excited. However, as the sheet was passed around, I was near the end, so I didn't get any of the good ones, obviously, like Voodoo or Jehovah's Witness or Islam. I got Quaker. Yet that's fine; I am curious about it anyway. I've done my own research on it. Also, we're supposed to know about religious prevalence and influence, and the Quakers were pretty influential in America (Pennsylvania, the Civil War, etc . . . ).
So this also gives me an excuse to go out to that Quaker church in Michigan and see if it has historical importance, and just see a Quaker church service. I wonder if it will be the old kind . . . the "unprogrammed" service I just read about today, where the men and the women stare at each other from the opposite sides of the room and no one speaks except when they are filled with the movable spirit of the Lord. That's always fun.
Though . . . this is very sad. This is going to be very pathetic for the rest of the class (and I am going to destroy their curve, ha ha ha!). Some things that were said in my World History class today:
Girl 1: "We're doing a report on religion? Is Scandinavian a religion?"
Girl 2: "Is Amish a religion?"
Girl 1: "Can I do Scandinavian? Is that a religion?"
Me (quietly): "No."
Girl 2: "Don't be retarded. It's a country. Is Amish a religion? Can I do Amish?"
Girl 1: "Hey, Mr. Johnson, how about Christians? Is Christians a religion?"
Richard Wallar (behind me, boy who wears all the ZIM shirts ^_^): "How retarded are you?"
Me: *gives Richard empathetic look.*
Girl Across Room (the one I want a ceiling tile to fall on): "I claim Voodoo!"
Girl 1: "Who do you think you are, Princess . . . Diana?"
Me: *rolls eyes.*
Girl Across Room: "I'm Princess Sierra."
Random Girl Next to Girl Across Room: "Hey, it says here Hebrews and Jewish people are the same thing. That explains a lot in the Bible."
Girl 2: "Is Amish a religion? Can I do Amish?"
So Richard and I talked about how stupid people are in this class. He did Hinduism. The Amish-obsessed girl did Amish. *Sigh* . . .
I am so not joking about any of that. Those are all exact quotes. That is REALLY, REALLY sad . . .
I get to read more in King Lear. I am Kent. I don't know who he is. I should have taken King Lear . . . just because he always reads the parts, lol . . .
Though apparently I sound bad, according to SOME people.
Seth will of course want to read Hamlet. It's his favorite play. Hence, I would not deny him that-- but I should have denied him Lear, lol . . .
Why am I still Amy T?
AP Economics is starting to bug me more and more.
I just ate a whole bar of chocolate. It tasted really good.
Crap, I have an article review and an essay to write, Economics homework to do, and a rp community to plan-- not to mention various rp journals to update.
Oh, yeah, and don't forget the novel . . .
I am changing that one section again.
Well, better get cracking . . .
