Bang bang, shoot me, Gavrilo
I guess I should be really grateful to Mrs. Beckett, our APUS teacher last year, for making us write all those essays every week. Because I never would be able to write those stupid short history essays in one hour without that.

I had my midterm tonight in WWI. I'm not going to say that I aced it, because I don't know that. If it were a high school class, then yeah I totally aced it. But being that it's not, I can't say. The teacher doesn't like to give As.

What I do know is I worked my butt off on it. Last night I was printing out a bunch of Wikipedia articles relating to the essay topics, this morning and during Spanish I was reading them over and highlighting, during English I was making outlines, during 5th bell I was all over the internet doing more research. I haven't worked so hard preparing for something like this in a long, long time.

...It's a good thing I only picked post-secondary classes that I'm interested in. Otherwise I think I would be completely burnt out about now.

Woooooo the midterm is over, and next week we have a guest speaker coming in to talk about poetry and literature and stuff! Which sure beats that week when we had an entire class about the naval war, when I actually ended up falling asleep...
