History 101

My history class was like any other class, well to me at least. It had its ups and downs but either way it was fun. I felt like i was trapped in my AP World history class again but only this class was American history, and a lot longer. But the worst part of it was that it was lecture, pure lecture. I really was in AP again. But unlike the homework, i actually did the homework here. We did get homework but it wasn't a lot. Sometimes the reading was long and hard to understand but sometimes we got short simple articles so it evened out. When our first test came i didn't know what to expect so i just did it. I came out with like a D or a C but either way i was happy. Then the second test came n i did about the same but I'm still OK with it.
Since i took world history before, i knew a lot about what he was talking about so the class was easy for me, except for the test i hate test. I did learn stuff i didn't know but i still found it boring. Don't get me wrong the class was fun. Sometimes when he was trying to teach us something he showed us a video. Sometimes those videos were Simpson video, and that was really cool. Yea i won't lie, i fell asleep like 3 or 4 times but that was when i knew what he was talking about. And when i had a laptop i would sometimes stray from my notes on the computer to the Internet but who wouldn't? This was a great experience, it really was, is! Summer Scholars has taught me so much about college and how different it is from high school. And the teachers, they were great too. Griggs (my history teacher) was a little boring and would sometimes tell jokes that weren't funny but people still laughed. Sometime i did laugh but that was because i really that it was funny. But overall, everything was great. The environment, the students, the teachers, the program itself. I love summer scholars.
