I love watching any television show or movie having to do with either Medical school or with Law school or with either profession in general.

I believe that I have wanted to go to Medical School longer than any other dream of mine. I read two biographies about the Mayo Brothers in 3rd grade. Being a Surgeon has lurked in the back of my mind forever.

I have the hands of a Magician. I have the hands of a Violinist. The hands of a mechanic having worked on cars, trucks, motorcycles, and aircraft since my teens lead me to believe that being a Surgeon is a real thing for me.

Law School has been on my want list since my twenties. Have brain/need training is a mantra I have often repeated. Prosecuting Criminals and getting paid well would be my primary focus as a lawyer.

Years ago I took a 2nd writing course at Everett Community College called ENG 102 Research Paper. The main point was to pick an American Icon and write about them. I initially chose Noam Chomsky because he was alive and I have many of his books. I sent him an email and we conversed for a couple of days, but I decided not to write about a living person. I then settled on one of my five favorite writers: Ernest Hemingway.

In class we had to tour the library and discover all the useful features of using a library. Then we had to present who we were intending to write about and when it got to me I said, “Ernest Hemingway, but I don’t want to use the library.” Riley Dwyer asked how many Ernest Hemingway books I had and after answering 156, she said there were only about 112 that Ernie had penned at all so she said I didn’t have to use the library at all.

That paper is still on this blog and it is called Ernest Hemingway: Man of Contrasts.

At the end of class, Riley Dwyer recommended that I finish my BA and to set my sights on going to the Iowa Writer’s Workshop at the University of Iowa.

Maybe someday is still my best answer.

Another First Monday of the month is upon me and I can start my Masters degree, yet again, tomorrow.

From American Public University:

MA in History: American History, European History, Ancient and Classical History, Global History, or Public History?

MA in Military History: American Military History, American Revolution, Civil War (War of Northern Aggression), World War II, or War Since 1945?

MA in Humanities based on the Great Books of the Western World.

Concentration in the American Revolution (24 semester hours)

APUS offers one of the nation’s only graduate concentrations on the American Revolution. Students study the philosophies, personalities, strategies, leadership, and other factors that led to, influenced, and resulted from the United States of America’s foundation and permanent break from Great Britain. As a major event in the larger sweep of the Enlightenment, the following aspects of the American Revolution are analyzed: principles of colonialism, monarchy, democracy, republic, and nation-building; military leadership, strategies and individual soldiers on each side; international diplomacy; economics; and American culture.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this concentration, the student will be able to:

• Dissect and critique the American Revolution from its antecedents to its legacy including events leading to the revolt, Declaration of Independence, strategy and tactics, campaigns, and the aftermath of war on the new nation.
• Analyze the American Revolution in reference to the operational contributions of American and British military leadership using selected land battles as examples of the strategies and tactics involved.
• Evaluate an early and pivotal campaign in the American Revolution by critiquing the strategy, tactics, and results of campaign on the subsequent course of the Revolution and post-war Anglo-American relations.
• Explain the perspective of the American Revolution from the British viewpoint in relation to colonial policies, diplomacy, military leadership, and other influences in Great Britain during and after the war.
• Assess and critique the conclusive military strategy of the American Revolution and why the strategy was distinctive from other military theatres of operation.

Boeing messed up my Voucher. The email says it’s for the first Humanities class. The Voucher attachment says it’s for the first History class.

Do I pay for the first Humanities class myself, or do I follow the lead of Boeing’s mistake and go in the History direction instead?
