As Greywar and Estrogen Lass (amongst others) would tell you, I have been slacking at this blog bit. While there are numerous excuses I could espouse, I'll just let you know how it is.
It's never been about me being stupid; it's all about the sloth, folks. (I actually have a rabid fear/allergic reaction to being called/thought of as stupid. While I can't stop you from thinking it, I'd prefer if you didn't bring it up. okthx) This actually feeds right into my next point: how to take two things that I'm not doing, and make them apply a synergistic effect on my rather generous supply of lazy.
See, I'm also putting off working on an online Government class which I signed up for. It is presented throught the eArmyU program (blog forthcoming, maybe), and will be applied (assuming I finish it) toward both an Associates in Foreign Language (or is it Studies?) from the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, Presidio of Monterey, California and a General Associates from Central Texas College. If I don't finish it, the Army won't pay the tuition assistance (i.e. the entire cost of the class), and I'll be charged for that. If I don't do 4 classes in the next 5 class periods (including the current one), I'll also have to pay the Army back for this substandard laptop they gave me, at a cost of much more than its worth. So, there are numerous reasons to do this class. There are a few less reasons to do the blog, but they still exist.
So, why haven't I done either of these things? I'm lazy. (You people don't do reading comprehension very well, do you?) But I think I've found a solution.
I'm going to post my homework as my blog.
I have no idea if anyone will find it interesting. There are multiple choice questions, True/False and a short answer for each chapter. For reference, the textbook used is Politics in America, 5th Edition, *TEXAS* Edition by Thomas R. Dye.
Hopefully, you'll be seeing me around here more... it may be my last hope of motivating myself to do my schooling.
