i have two papers due this semester. the first is due on the 18th. it's my social policy paper. the point of it is to conduct a thorough analysis of a provincial in-kind benefit program and come up with 20 pages of depth.

ok, normally I'd have no complaints because for some reason I can find amazing amounts of information on virtually any subject. i can be working on my own stuff and someone can ask me if i know anything on what they're doing, and in ten minutes i can have more info for them than if they'd spent all day on it. and no, that's not much of an exaggeration as I've done that several times before.

but this time. oh this time. im looking at the BC Healthy Kids Program. and there is NOTHING. and by nothing i mean i've somehow wirtten ten pages based soley off a single brochure and press release from last year. oh, and one sentence from the Employment and Assistance Act and Regulations.

i even spent an hour on the phone with both the HKP and MSP trying to get information and all I got from speaking with four different people was "ummmm....you know I'm not sure...?"

HOW DO YOU FUCKING WORK FOR A VERY SPECIFIC PROVINCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IT DOES OR WHY IT EXISTS?

i can stretch things in a paper, but really, there comes a point where you just can't stretch it out anymore. it's not like you can expand fifteen pages on "it provides up to $700 in dental or eye care for children whose families receive MSP premium assistance." if you can make that 15 pages, please, please tell me. i'd love to know. i've hit ten mostly because i threw in some quotes about why children's health is important and repeated the same shit over and over and over and over and over.

i went to talk to prof about it earlier and told him about the virtual black hole of information that exists on this program. now i'm supposed to 'intuit' the rest of it. there's not much you can intuit a lot on "it provides up to $700 in dental or eye care for children whose families receive MSP premium assistance."

i even switched from Times to Arial because the letters were bigger. yes. that's how much trouble this thing is giving me.

schmragh.
