Burr, do you know what was in the room when it happened?

I know Hamilton, Jefferson and Madison were in the room where it happened, however I was never able to gain access. This is why you should vote for me in the presidential election, so I may finally fulfil my goal; to be in the room where it happens!

My American Literature class got canceled. She sent us an e-mail last night at like 9:00 lol

I don't check my fuckin email that late... So.. now I am in an open lab looking up articles about Thomas Jefferson and trying to figure out how he made an impact on America other than the Declaration of Independence..

This paper is due the 18th.. I have made a little bit of a head start on this paper and I am pleased with myself.. Now I just have to write the paper.. Ugh..

THE PART YOU TAKE IN MY LOSS MAKES AN AFFECTIONATE CONCERN FOR THE GREATNESS OF IT. IT IS GREAT INDEED. OTHERS MAY LOSE OF THEIR ABUNDANCE, BUT I, OF MY WANT, HAVE LOST EVEN THE HALF OF ALL I HAD. MY EVENING PROSPECTS NOW HANG ON THE SLENDER THREAD OF A SINGLE LIFE. PERHAPS I MAY BE DESTINED TO SEE EVEN THIS LAST CORD OF PARENTAL AFFECTION BROKEN. THE HOPE WITH WHICH I HAD LOOKED FORWARD TO THE MOMENT, WHEN, RESIGNING PUBLIC CARES TO YOUNGER HANDS, I WAS TO RETIRE TO THAT DOMESTIC COMFORT FROM WHICH THE LAST STEP IS TO BE TAKEN, IS FEARFULLY BLIGHTED. BUT, WHATEVER IS TO BE OUR DESTINY, WISDOM AS WELL AS DUTY, DICTATES THAT WE SHOULD ACQUIESCE IN THE WILL OF HIM WHOSE IT IS TO GIVE AND TAKE AWAY, AND BE CONTENTED IN THE ENJOYMENT OF THOSE WHO ARE STILL PERMITTED TO BE WITH US. THOMAS JEFFERSON
