Andrew Kim "Assignment #7"

Harder class is sometimes frustrating, but it can be better for ourselves.

I'm taking American history class which is very challenging. In the beginning of semester, many of my friends asked me "Are you serious? Why don't you take that in another school?" The course that i'm taking is notorious for its huge amount of readings and writings even though it is 103 level course. Each week, I struggled with readings and most of time ended up with finish less than half of the assigned readings. I felt like being tortured first several weeks, because i couldn't say any words about the books in discussion class.

I was once thought about become historian, and was good at multiple choice world history. But everything was totally new to me in this short period of American history. It broke my arrogance and made me work hard. As a result, nowadays I feel like i'm learning something. Today i'm done with my history mid-term, which was divided into two day exam. (identification of terms on 3/17, three short essays and one long essays on 3/19.) It was my first all essay exam and was the hardest exam i have ever taken. I just wrote crazily and don't remember much about how i wrote it. But the important fact is that i wrote all the assigned essays, although i'm not sure about my score.
