Surprisingly I do actually study, sometimes I even do well. These are some of my better essays that sort of make valid points about stuff that I find interesting. Or the stupid arse lecturer with absolutely no imagination (who insists on saying cinemaaaar) and should die in a hole has set as this semesters snooze-a-rific topic.
Nevertheless, these are essays I got relatively good marks for that you may want to read out of interest sake or that you actually want to reference. Surely there's someone out there who'll quote me one of these days… I'm not holding my breath.
