I'm here, sober, and there's no way I'm getting this essay done. NO WAY.
Looks like getting up early on Sunday for me. Or I could just man the fuck up and write a load of shit tonight. For fuck's sake, it's not even assessed.

I do have a small thing for Zack Braff.

Why hagiography developed in the 4th and 5th cent.
Points are:

-Christianity was permissable
-People wanted guides on how to be saintly
-People didn't want to forget sacrifices people made.

It's not even an essay. It's 1000 words.

yeah they're very very harmless.
they're a lot smaller then other sharks (about a metre generally), and they tend to just keep to themselves.

however, if you go out past the reef (about 150 yards out in the water), then you need to be careful - cos the sea floor drops and there are the good old Great Whites.
