Basic History Classes

I am sick and tired of basic history classes. I have not yet (and considering the amount of time left in the semester, this means 'will not') bought the textbook for my American History class; I routinely skip it; I don't study for it. I got an A on the test and wrote an "excellent essay (the only comment on my essay)."

In my World history class, my teacher gave me an A- on my book dissection just to be mean and nasty and in order to keep me coming to class, since she takes roll (which I think is stupid. After all, this is college). The only way for me to have made that essay better would have been to actually read the book and not write the essay the night before it was due, and those suggestions seem ludicrous to me. Who does she think I am?

I think that the History Department needs to have some kind of test-out exam, or offer an accelerated class where you can take both classes at once. After I finish my classes, I am going to go complain to the department; that way it will be clear that I am doing it because I think the department will be better for it and not just to demonstrate what a super genius I am (there was never any DOUBT of that).

In other news- Mommy said that I was accepted for the French Huguenot Scholarship, which is nice, since I am following in such massive footsteps.

Happy All Saint's Day- Blog Resolves.

I have decided to try to make at least a weekly post on my blog. It is my new goal to do so. I am now 22 years old, give or take (I am not quite sure how crossing the international date line works with days). It has been a good year in lots of ways. I am taking four history classes- my favorite class is World War Two, which has lead to an interesting development. I am signed up for History 202 next semester- I don't feel like I should have to take it, especially considering I tested out of it and how easily I understand 201, but thus is the History Department. So I am signed up to take it from my World War II professor, Aaron Skabelund, who I like a lot. I just got an email from him asking if I wanted to be his T.A.- for History 202 next semester. I wrote to him and explained the situation- I am hoping he'll let me take the final immediately, so I can ace it and be his T.A., because I'd really like to be.
