Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable

Man, Emaline. I know how shit like that can shake you up. I hope you're feelin' okay.
Hey Blog Thread! I am posting again because my brother just called!
I am now the proud Aunt of Master Jensen Andrew Lester and oh my goodness I think I need to have a celebratory something. I am sure my nephew would not hold it against me, in my current state, if it were a celebratory orange segment.

So! I slept 13 hours yesterday/today, and am now staying up all night again to finish this paper on...well christ, here's the prompt:
--- Quote ---1) Consider the following quotation by Frederick Cooper: “The ensuing “Congo Crisis” that began in 1960 at virtually the moment of independence would reveal that decolonization was more complicated than tearing down the flag of an oppressor and raising the flag of a new nation (p. 83).”
Write an essay discussing the complications of decolonization in the Congo and Zimbabwe. Your essay should include at least three examples of such complications (in total, not three for each country) containing specific references to important events and people/political parties. In the case of the Congo what do you think has been the most enduring complication or what complication has had the most far-reaching impact?

See, I know exactly how to answer this, but not how to put it into writing. I don't have time to deal with that problem, though, because it's due at 10 am tomorrow, and it's 4 am right now.
Is it common to have to write 3 papers all in the same week?

I had teachers that would say "in college you'll have to write x (where x = the amount of papers they were assigning) papers in one week, stop complaining"
I always thought that was a pretty lame excuse of why they were assigning a lot of work instead of actually teaching.

It's still around, for now, but I think it's actually supposed to be a finite series, like All Star Superman. The shit never comes out, though, as neither Frank Miller nor Jim Lee seem to understand the concept of a deadline.
As for Blue Beetle, it was canceled because its sales were in the shitter. It's never done particularly well and I'm surprised it lasted this long. The latest issue ranked 161 on the top 300 comic sales list, which is terrible for a mainstream superhero comic.

See, I want this with my knees. I can't walk for more than half an hour without the most intense, complete pain I've ever had. It hurts a lot, I can't stand to clean the kitchen and bake something, I can't bike or dance, I can't do a lot of things, but whenever I've gone to physio/the doctor I've been rested before and consequently fairly normal besides the fact that my kneecaps don't move.
I want some qualified external confirmation that what I'm going through is, in fact, very bad.
Em glad you're still alive still.
