<p>That you've written for school that was on a topic that by default made you seem more intelligent?</p>
<p>Like basically saying that I was writing my paper on the influence of Dutch political structure on the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza made me feel all cool and pedantic, as did my poster on the development of "chymistry" from the semi-hermetic theories of Basilius Valentinus, Sendivogius, and Paracelsus.</p>
<p>Throw words like paradigm into your papers.</p>
<p>omg I keep forgetting to do that. I always just use quintessence instead :/</p>
<p>I love throwing big words in my social studies DBQ’s so the teacher won’t notice I was slightly inaccurate. It works.</p>
<p>My entire analysis on the Monroe Doctrine that I spent time working on.</p>
<p>And a proof of a set theory topic.</p>
<p>What topic?</p>
<p>Sorry, I was busy proving that all k-cells are compact.</p>
<p>noobs are easily impressed</p>
<p>It was a watered down version of commutative property in a set of numbers.</p>
<p>At the time, I felt smart. An hour later, I was unsatisfied.</p>
<p>Isn’t that group theory?</p>
<p>I wrote a paper on therapeutic hypothermia. I felt really smart because I used lots of scientific terms and got a good grade but really I had no idea what I was talking about. I forget most of it already too. </p>
<p>Probably the paper I was most proud of was one I wrote i sophomore year arguing that the Civil War did not start over slavery. I have since continued to read more about the topic and think it’s more debatable than I did at the time, but I built some really solid arguments.</p>
<p>Yeah it was more like group theory. Professor told me set theory, I don’t know why.</p>
<p>Cela, what is it with you and that Spinoza chick?</p>
<p>Spinoza’s a sexy beast, what can I say (albeit not as much as my real lover, Blaise Pascal)?</p>
<p>Bertrand Russell</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d be more inclined to have a necromancrush on him if he actually made any contribution to philosophy that I’d heard of besides being snarky</p>
<p>Don’t disrespect the snark.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Paper: writing on a paper
Project: info on a format such as a poster
:p</p>
<p>^I was going to write “a thin material mainly used for writing upon, printing upon or for packaging, produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets” before I clicked on the thread.</p>
<p>Basilius Valentinus, Sendivogius, and Paracelsus</p>
<p>Funny sounding names.</p>
<p>^^^ There was this quote I remember about being a ****** on the prowl for a prostitute, but it, unsurprisingly, is also attributed to George Bernard Shaw as well as Russell</p>
<p>^ They are brilliant scientists. The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony is especially amazing.</p>
<p>Papers > Projects IMO.</p>
<p>I hate having to create a poster/diorama I can’t do during study hall.</p>
