This morning I had my second test of the semester. My first took place last week, Thursday to be exact, in my Anthropology class - also known as the "God doesn't exist" class. My 50 minute test this morning, though, was in History 261: 1865 to present. Over recent weeks we've discussed all types of interesting topics including Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, The Compromise of 1877, and the formation of Unions. Had my professor not been one of the most unique teachers I've met so far, I might be a little bit more nervous about the class. We don't use textbooks; instead he assigned 5 different books that we're reading throughout the semester in order to interpret different variations of each part of History. According to Professor Hagaman "Everything you learned in High School History books lied to you." You see why I like him. The man ain't bringing him down!
Anyways, PH(Professor Hagaman), isn't a fan of technology, so this morning I was fortunate enough to write 8 different essay questions down in my handy dandy Blue Book. A free book that some moron came up with that is covered with blue paper, and then has about 5 sheets of notebook paper attached inside. God forbid we use our own notebook paper. Had I known some fool would invest in this idea, I would have been rich by the time I was 6.
I feel that I did B worthy on the test, but with this being the first exam, I don't know what to expect grading wise. He's usually to hopped up on Diet Pepsi to really settle down, so I'm hoping he rushes through these tests like it's his job. Wait, it is.

I'm sure you did great on the test....what kinds of things did you talk about with the unions? We just talked about 4 major strikes in the 1880s-1900s. They actually liked it.
I really have to meet Professor Hagaman!
The Unions we talked about were the I.W.W and the A.F of L.
Both interesting.
You do need to meet PH!
Huh?..... I thought you meant the Union Army.
They won, you know. My High School History book was right about that!
HA, there PH!
