I want to do MA in Ancient and Classical History at American Public University.

I want to do MS in Psychology because it’s cheaper and faster. Being cheaper and faster is not a good enough reason to pick Psychology over History.

I will probably not be doing a graduate degree any time soon.

In scoring IQ 148 sd 15 on a High Range IQ test, I have joined every High IQ society that would let me join. I am still concentrating on various High Range IQ tests.

In studying for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) I could qualify to enter Law School (a very long held goal) and with a high enough score I could join Mensa, Intertel, Triple Nine, and the International Society for Philosophic Enquiry. If I sit in front of a Psychologist or Psychiatrist I could join these same societies by doing a Wechsler (sd 15) or Stanford-Binet (sd 16) test.

I re-taught myself Geometry as an adult, then taught myself Trigonometry. I can re-teach myself Algebra, then go on to teach myself Calculus. The mercenary in me says that all Mathematics studied will help my IQ test scores in the future.

Start by reading:

The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England (2012)

The War of the Roses: The Fall of the Plantagenets and the Rise of the Tudors (2014)

By Dan Jones

Any book or video by Dan Jones is good.

I descend from at least three people that would qualify me for the Jamestowne Society:

John Woodson QA/A 9103, who died 18 Apr 1644.

Sarah Woodson QA/A 9112, who died 1660/1.

John Clay QA/A 1706, who lived 1587 to 1664/5 and who was also an Ancient Planter.

The term “Ancient Planter” is applied to those persons who arrived in Virginia prior to June 1616, remained for a period of three years, and paid their passage. They received the first patents of land in the new world from the Virginia Company of London, as authorized by Governor Sir Thomas Dale in 1618, for their personal adventure.

John Clay, John Woodson, and Sarah Woodson connect to my family tree using the Lineage Paper Project as well as “Adventurers of Purse and Person: Virginia 1607 – 1624/5” Compiled and Edited by John Frederick Dorman.

It is St. Patrick’s Day 2025!

I will go and put my ORANGE shirt on!

A friend of mine told me to, “Do what you love” and “You have to love the bad bits too.” Well the only thing I love and the bad bits also is History.

And, Literature….
