I'm Back!

So sorry for the length of time between posts.  I had a month off of school and just never thought about picking up the computer and blogging!  Anyway, I'm back and will try to be more consistent about writing.

I'm never sure about what I want to write, so I'll just stick with what I'm good at: trying to keep up with my brain as it wanders around.  I'm in school right now, training to be an automotive technician.  I've always loved cars, and working on them is one of the best ways to stay around as many cars as possible.  The unfortunate thing about the program is that in order to maintain government funding, we are forced to take math and speech.  I understand that the college has to do this, but it just feels like a huge waste of time.  I took AP calculus in high school, and got a high enough score to test out of all math at my previous college, not to mention the half hour speeches we did as part of my seminar class.  I really get it; some people need those classes to learn how to multiply fractions and make a 2 minute introductory speech.  But it really seems to me that education should be individualized for each student.  Twenty to twenty-five year old high school graduates should not be taking the same class as a 45 year old middle school dropout.  Okay, that's enough for my pre-lunch rant.  I'll be back this afternoon with a more positive and uplifting post.
