Bible papers and space aliens...

I am writing this paper for my Bible class... I am supposed to write a 600-800 word paper on a man who's first information I read about him, and I quote says: "There was once a biography of Eusebius, written by his successor as Caesarea's bishop, but like so many other documents, it is lost. So we know nothing for certain about this historian's early life. He was probably born in Palestine, we think he was martyred but there is no way to know for sure." What!!! How in the world am I supposed to write a paper about a man who we barely know existed, much less anything about him!!....
I promptly started sobbing after reading that information...

Not only that, but we are supposed to write a captivating beginning and ending.
My only idea is that since we don't officially know how he died, I could add my own version of his death, perhaps involving space aliens... It would go something like this: One day, Eusebius of Caesarea was walking down the road, then suddenly a bright light appeared and an object came down from the heavens, he blindly tried to run away, but it was too fast... And!!!... it landed on him... the end.
The only problem is, I don't know how my Bible teacher would feel about this...

christmas cheer :)

Can you believe Christmas is only THREE DAYS AWAY!!! It seems like only yesterday I was tearing my hair out and attempting to get used to the school week. Now I can relish one week of pure relaxation and another week of vacation freaking out, worrying about how I have to go back to school in 7...6....5...4...3...ect days. All the while worrying about all the unfinished homework I have been pushing off to the next day. You know what the thing is about procrastinating to the next day is? well there is always another day maniacally grinning at you after the next, calling you to just put everything off to the next day.
I can hear it: you don't really have to study for that test Hannah.... I mean just think of all the T.V shows you have missed all this school year, you don't want to disappoint them do you??
And of course, I feel obliged not to embitter the next day, so I put off my ever present homework to the next.

On the continued subject of Christmas, today I am going to finish all my baking. I am making cherry truffles, gingerbread men, and coconut balls covered with chocolate(I would give you a specific name for them but I don't know what they are called). yummm :) can't just feel the weight being added on??
You know I never understood how people can wait until a few days before Christmas to finish their shopping, until now. There just isn't time!!!! By the time you get of school you aren't thinking about shopping, you are thinking about catching up on all the sleep you have lost during the school year so far. Which I have to say, I have done an excellent job of doing.
I hate to admit it, but I have officially become one of those people who waits until two days before Christmas to finish their shopping (sniff). The first step to recovery is addmitting you have a problem, right?? It is three days before Christmas and I still have most of my shopping to do.
Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone, and have a wonderful day!

P.S I wrote this three days before Christmas,
but haven't had a chance to post it, until now. :)
