About a year...well, I don't know if I'm on the right track. I told my counselor I want to transfer to a 4-year. But I think he mentioned in a lecture, for me to just earn my Associates. I'll see him again. My mom thinks that I should get a degree in American Literature, or Military History.

I'll finish my conceptual essay by tonight. It's for political science, so I'll be able to dish it out easily. I just have to worry about Dahl though...pesky Dahl.

Dahl is one of the best political scientists, and most distinguished in the field today. He is a "Sterling" Professor at Yale. (Sterling is a rank of professor. It's top notch). He has published quite a few books on how democratic our political institutions are in the United States. It's all very fascinating. I'm reading him for political science. Dahl isn't too hard to read. It is just trying to comprehend and interpret it is the problem. For example, he wrote that the representation in Congress isn't really equal (in his opinion). Now, Congress is bicameral. Bi meaning two, and camera is Latin for Chamber. So two chambers being of the House and of the Senate. This was a result of the "Great Compromise" or also known as the Connecticut Compromise. Each state has an equal vote, and each state has two senators in the Senate. In the House, the representation is set by the state legislatures. In California, the state legislature has to have 575,000 people be represented by 1 Representative. (It might be the same for other states, I'm not sure). The number will shift every 10 years because of the Census. Currently, there are 475 House members. (Not including the reps from US Territories who can't vote). And there is the Vice President who is the "President" of the Senate (for tie breaking).
I first read it, it made no sense. Then I started to think about and I said he's right. However, even though this system of representation isn't perfect it's the best. Besides, there are a few other ways for representation to be allowed. The number one rule of government is this: "For every rule, there is an exception."
