Not only that J, but most of the people on this forum are actually...you know, smart. And diverse.
Anyway, earlier today I had my first World Civ. to 1650 Exam, and I freaking loved it. I realize this is weird as hell to say, but I actually had FUN doing a college exam. We basically had to write four small essays and then one big essay, and unlike most AP courses I've taken in the past, it was very unrestrictive. It was basically "write down what you know about Confucianism and Hinduism" rather than "Discuss the lasting cultural impacts of Confucianism on the Chinese middle class on a Tuesday in 300 B.C."
I understand the purpose of getting people to think on that level, but still, that type of essay is boooring, because it covers so little. I honestly don't think that anyone reading a paper on the second topic would learn anything worthwhile about Chinese history.
Off of that rant now, I just love learning.
Hooray for Learning!
