I got an "A"

So I just got the results back for my first test. It was an A-. For those of my friends who are still in school they may not understand why in the world I'm so excited over this. Let's put it this way. It's been a few years now since I have taken a challenging course (I don't count the religion course I took to be challenging) and how to get in laundry, dishes, cleaning kids and their messes, (the list goes on) etc. it hasn't exactly been mentally stimulating like a wonderful BYU course. I'm taking American Heritage right now. The very name still strikes fear into my heart (lol. It still does though.) So, I decided in the course of trying to get my degree that I might as well get it over with now rather than later. I've actually found the information so far to be incredibly interesting, I just dread having to be tested on it. Now that the first is over I'm not quite so nervous about getting a good grade. I actually deserved a B+ to be honest, but the teacher liked the essay (it was a good essay) and told me he'd give me an A- instead.
