Yes, today is officially midterm at Armstrong Atlantic State University. I'm maintaining an A in History 1100, Civilization 1111, Computer Science 1060, and Psychology 1101. I'm working my butt off for these grades, it seems. OK, maybe I'm not busting my butt but I'm not slacking off from my assignments. I have no clue what my English 1102 grade is other than yesterday, my professor told us no one is in danger of failing the course. That's nice to know. She told us yesterday she'll give us back all our papers she has graded tomorrow. I hope.

Today in Hist. 1100, we got our test papers back from Tuesday's test. I made a 98. I could have gotten a perfect score if I remembered to mention the 3/5^th Compromise. Before class, other classmates were wondering how I do so well in that course. Honestly, I don't know. I had great U.S. history teachers in grade school and I do have an interest in history but how I remember many things, I do not know. It's really hard to convey that fact to others. And during the class, my professor kidded us all that he's glad I speak up in class while my other classmates are happy I speak up because I take the pressure off their backs.

In Psychology, I had another test. I know I did better on the extra credit this time than I did last time. I'll find out tomorrow what I made on the test pre-extra credit.

Tomorrow, I have an essay due in Civ. 1111 class that has to be 3-5 pages. I have only written about 2. It is going to be about Internet communities in general. It will probably suck but I'll be talking about theology (the worship of new "gods" or ideas), organization (like message boards and blogging comments), and ethics (like bloggers sniping at each others, like what happened during the Blogrolling incident last year). I have to complete it tonight.

Finally, I want to apologize to all my friends for being so distanced lately. It has been the midterms and I've been focused on schooling. It's like once I get home, I don't want to get on the computer. It's like a chore to check my e-mail. I know come this weekend, I'll be back on it again. I won't be as stress for school this weekend as I was last week and this week.

Later!
