Old Testament EW. Aside from all the flashy God bein' a jealous smiter type, Numbers and Deuteronomy aren't even worth it. For serious.

Hi Brittany. I miss you. How did your paper go?

[safari_avenger]

Ah, um, the paper... went. I guess. (It was like three papers that I tried to pretend were actually somehow related and it was kinda mediocre to sub-par.) I hope I get a B?

But actually I kind of like Deuteronomy! It's so... stuffy. I dunno. From a historical standpoint, the Old Testament is simultaneously really cool and interesting and really, really way too hard to write a paper on or even consider from a historiographical perspective. It turns out that all I want to do is run away from it. Augh. OH NOES THE FINAL EXAM FOR THIS COURSE.
