The American Revolution

I have gotten answers to questions about the American Revolution that i never ever even though to ask before this class. I also have gotten to learn lots of cool things about people that were involved in the AR like John Adams, Ben Franklin, and of course George Washington. I am still working on my twenty page essay about the good old GW trying to find the words to match the man. Sometimes i think about what it would be like if i went back in time to meet him. I would probably freak. It seems like every week i have to read more and more, but i think i am getting into it now. If you embrace the reading, it seems to get better. Here's to learning!

Update on my school

This semester i am taking the History of Geology and the American Revolution. I was seriously excited about these two classes at the start of the semester but i don't think i realized how much work they were going to be.

For starters, Geology is AMAZING. I think i have learned more about the earth in two weeks than i have ever learned about any other subject ever. It is a lot of memorization and charts but the earth is all around you, so its hard NOT to be interested.

The American Revolution is so so so much reading. I'm finding myself wishing my textbook was on an audio CD. I have read 1 million essays that were probably written by a dictionary and every other word is 15 letters long. I love history more than anything but come on, its like they want me to fail by sucking the life out of it. I like to study the passion of the people, not a 20 page long essay about the rational explanation of why the revolution occurred through the eyes of a dictionary. I will muddle through it some how, better get to reading!
