Returning To... Mendocino Junior College

I am back at Mendocino Junior College.  It's an hour away in Ukiah and it's much, much hotter there!  This week, I spent hours trying to get into my classes.  Today, I'm on my way back for another couple of hours to finish up my enrollment.  I have to take my placement exam also, but not today.  Today, I'm just getting my enrollment done.

At the college, they are helping people learn in the tutoring center.  They also have a bus that comes from Willits or Santa Rosa.  Here are pictures of the college.

 

What I like about Mendocino College is that there's a lot of independence and there's a great view of the mountains.  I can study on my own time and my classes are online so I don't even have to go to the campus.  There is a lot of work to do but my classes are transferable to a four year university.

This semester, I am taking English and Business Math.  I'm thinking of taking one more class, too.

I'll keep you posted!

The Art of Gaming

What I like about gaming is that in every game you can do things you can't do in real life.  In Modern Warfare, you can shoot people but I can't do that in real life.  For those who don't know, the game is based on the War in Iraq and Afghanistan.  In racing games, you can break the speed limit and have cops chasing you but instead of pulling over (like you would in real life) you need to keep going or you'll get busted for pulling over.

Guess what?  My mother has a great idea for me to do some gaming for some of my homeschool work.  How would you like to game at school?!  Isn't that great?  So, she is buying me a game calls Sims.  Maybe you heard of it?  I have been wanting that game FOREVER!  I really want Sims 3 but of course, my mother insists on investigating ALL the Sims!  So, I don't know what she will decide on but I think it is totally cool that she is letting me game as part of my school work!  I only get to do this on Fridays, though.

The reason my mother is letting me game for some of my school work is because I just scored super sky high on a national standards test.  Apparently, I scored on the same level as a Senior who is finishing high school.  I was surprised myself.  But, she reminds me, that doesn't mean I know everything.  I still have to complete a lot of studies this fall. (Boo!)  No, actually, I do like to study history.  I'm also studying business, which I like, and government, which I don't know a lot about so I guess I'll let you know more about my thoughts on that later.  
Here is a game that I enjoy.
