Sure, you’re entitled to ask.
Why would such an optimistic, upbeat girl choose to her write her “How Art Is Reflected in Society” paper on the Black Death?
Answer: I am already very curious about medieval culture. The art and music that came out of that period of about five hundred years fascinates and transports me today. So I was looking for a topic that addressed the Middle Ages (das Mittelalter, for those in German III).
The Black Death, for those who don’t know, was a catastrophic outbreak of bubonic plague across Europe and Asia in the 1300s, killing roughly 1 in 3 people. When I discovered this, I drew a parallel between that unimaginable scale of destruction and the devastation that the Bible predicts for the years just before Jesus’s return. And being a firm believer in the proximity of these events, I decided that this topic could actually be personally applicable.
I won’t claim to have received any divine lightbulbs in the end, but it was fascinating.

Read it and weep.
P.S. A word of advice to my classmates: If on YOUR papers, the 1″ margins aren’t looking right… your document might still be set to A4. *nostalgic sniff*

you aught to set up a way of having a mailing list to whom posts are autimatically sent

Yeah… that’s a good idea. I’ll look into subscription stuff
How hard was is to make… the blog?
My dad set up the skeleton for me, (it was easy for him, but wouldn’t necessarily be for me) and then passed it all over to me to design it out (which was a learning experience, but now I know how to do it.) You CAN just choose between loads of templates and not have to do any coding at all.
