an interesting paper?

how come out of a class of 20, 4 people are doing it on drinking.

that's almost a quarter of the class, all doing it on the same thing

i thought the whole point was to do something outside of your subculture, to do some actual research rather then just getting shitfaced on the weekends, like you normally do, and reading some pamphlet done by madd.

perhaps it is just me, I'm just cranky and anti-social, but at least have some sympathy for the teacher, he has to read and correct all of these papers. Drinking can only be covered from so many different angles.

perhaps its just me looking for a challenge, looking to do "real research" by picking a topic that hasn't been beat to death yet by every high school health class

I know I'm probably picking a fight posting this on here, but its the end of the semester and chances are that I'm not going to see any of you next year.

  1. Ha! Thanks for your brutal honesty, Ayla. But actually, at least two of those projects are by people who have self-identified as non-drinkers (and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and take their word for it :-). And I actually think the drinking culture in this state is a legitimate phenomenon worth researching. Now, whether that leads to quality papers, we'll see :-)
