National History Day

for some reason, history teachers love forcing their students to participate in a random wacky holiday and spend like half the year on their projects

"The creation of my National History Day project came to me in a dream. Better classified as a nightmare, really. After I woke up, I knew I had to do a website. The other project mediums seemed more haunting and daunting. The only thing that made sense to me, the only rational decision after such a nightmare, was to build a website on the most difficult project maker. After all, if I could build a website on that, it would truly prove myself a proper historian. Using the website builder, I clawed and begged and howled to the computer screen for weeks, until coherent words formed, and this project was born."
