US History I

Nearly aced my Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP last Friday! I was thrilled! With the successful completion of that and my Survey of Economics class at Wake Tech, I now, at age 16, have 21 college credits to my name. And, Lord-willing, I'll be earning another 3 this Friday. Which is what I really wanted to talk about.

The upcoming CLEP is US History 1, covering early colonization to 1877. (and this must be brief, because I haven't had all too much time for studying so far this week =P) It's been truly fascinating for me to read this overview of our country's history. Fascinating... and also kind of sad- to see where we started and where we've ended up. Even, for instance, the compromises that were fairly common in the 1800's. It was almost a foreign concept to me to see the political parties working together like that to try to make a solution for the common good AND to see them actually (for the most part) ADHERING to the political promises we made. Now, granted, hindsight IS 20/20, and I'm sure people back then were less than pleased with their government. But still... it does make ya think. Think... and pray for a revival of the good, old-fashioned traditions, principles and- dare I say it- morals this country was founded on.

ok. there. I said it. Now back to studying. (ask my 2yr old sis sometime what she thinks of 'Mémé' having to do so much schoolwork nowadays... >.< ) =)

Macified.

Well. For starters, I slew the ginormous 50K-tall dragon... again... Phew. This guy just seems to come back every year... necessitating a month of early mornings and late nights in order to stop him from destroying the world. *shakes head* The things I do for this world that noooo one knows about... ;D So anyways... now I'm really looking forward to getting back to work on Ahrn! =) In other news...

I, the contented PC user, have now joined the ranks of the condescending, ultra-biased Mac users. ;) Disclaimer: I BEAR NO ILL WILL AGAINST PCs OR THEIR USERS. My philosophy/stance in the Mac VS PC debate- a computer is a computer. If it does what you need it to, it's completely FINE. After that, it's a matter of taste. In my case, I actually NEED a Mac (because of my preference towards its music-recording software), so... ;) Anyways. Macs totally rock. I must say, that, so far, I'm enjoying it a LOT more than any PC.... but I digress. ;D

Well, gorra run again... college student here with basically only a couple hours of freetime in the morning- period. O_e

Ciao!
