Long-Range Paper Topic

I think I've figured out what my long range paper is going to be one. Thats that big one due at the end of the semester. I think I'm going to research the causes of the Cuban Revolution and its effect on Latin America. Hopefully, she'll go for that. I've read a lot about the Cuban Revolution in the past couple of years and its something I'm interested in talking about. The Cuban Revoltution has influenced many countries especially in Latin America. I don't think she'll have any issues with me doing a paper on it. I hope she doesn't. I was already at a loss as to what I should write my paper on when this idea came to me. I can write papers just fine as long as I have a topic. I have an extremely hard time finding topics. There is so much out there and its hard to pick just one. I also don't want to do anything that has been done before but thats inevitable. Its a research paper, not a discovery. It's all about how the author approaches it and what they glean from their research.

In other news, since Maggie and Longo have decided to get married, I've decided to support her. She wants me there when they get married so since she wants me there, I'll go. I think its a mistake and I told her I thought it was but I'm not her and its not my life. It's her decision. I don't like Longo. It took me a long time to start to like him but it light of recent events, I don't care for him at all and I don't think anyone should be in a relationship with him. But its ultimately her decision and I'll be there for her no matter what happens.

Since they're getting married at the court house, she's planning a small reception afterward. She wanted her sister to cater it for her but Amy, thats her sister, said that it was going to cost her. Come on! I wouldn't dream of charging a relative or close friend to cook for her small reception. Maggie was really upset with her. Maggie was going to buy the food all Amy had to do was cook it. Maggie was going to pay her but then Amy said that besides the food, she wanted to be paid for her time which was going to cost her. So, Maggie called her other sister, Beth and Beth was fuming. So she called and told me what happened so Beth and I have decided to do all the cooking so that Maggie doesn't have to worry about Amy. When Maggie called Amy and told her not to worry about it, Amy got all mad and said that it was a mistake to have me and Beth cooking. I was slightly offended. Amy has never had my cooking, she doesn't know how well or how bad I am.

I'm alright at cooking. I mean I make really good lasagna and all that stuff but what made me a little angry was that Amy was making assumptions. I know no matter how good the stuff I make is, Amy is going to criticize it. Oh well, I'll get over it. It's not about me. It's about Maggie and Amy would do well to remember that.
