I am currently trying not to pull my hair out and throw it around my room like fibrous snowflakes as I attempt to write my EPQ. For those of you that don't know, the EPQ (or 'Extended Project Qualification', dahling), is what I like to call 'the sit down Duke of Edinburgh'. You choose a topic, any topic, and write 5000 words about it. Alternatively, you can make something, like a play script, tupperware box or assortment of glove puppets, and write a smaller essay on that.
So anyway, I- foolish rogue that I was- decided to do a project about 'The Presentation of Women in Disney Films' for two simple reasons:
a) I like Disney films.
b) See reason a.
So now I'm sitting here, 1030 words down (not including the title, thank you very much) and unsure of what to write next. I've gone through chronologically, having written about Snow White and Cinderella, but I've stopped at Aurora. And why?
I'M BORED.
The teacher that's in charge of these EPQ shenanigans, by the name of Mike, says "if you lack motivation, then you've chosen the wrong topic." Well, that's not very helpful, a week before the deadline, IS IT MIKE??!!
So what's the solution to my problem, you ask? Well, the answer is simple.
I did a watercolour Ariel on a revision card.
I'm not joking, but I'm really proud.
Anyway, there may be the chance of postponing for a year/ dropping out. I think there's always been the latter choice available, it's just I'm slightly scared of Mike and his EPQ regime.
Until next time, You,
M
P.S. Do you think I should start a watercolour-selling business? I do.
P.P.S. My sister is dancing around my room to Hilary Duff's 'Why Not'; Disney classics are the best. I'll probably write more about my sister- she's fab and my only friend, besides my dog. He's called Dog. I'll introduce you to him soon.
