The Waiting Game

So I sitting here at home on my couch waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around so that I can call this lady and do my phone interview. I am so excited about getting to talk with her and finding out more about this job. I hope it will all go well. I have realized that I don't know as much about American History as I thought I did. Or maybe I did and I have just forgotten it all over the years. I think I would come back to me if I started to use it more. On the application it asked me to rate my knowledge of US History and I put 7 I think (10 being the highest) so last night I thought Id brush up a little bit in case I needed to know some for today and I really realized that while I know the basis of our history, I don't know the details as well as I thought I did, or use to. When I was in 5th grade I could tell you exactly how all 13 of the original colonies were formed, right down to the last detail. But 5th grade was a long time ago and I have since forgotten, except that the Duke of York claimed New York as a royal providence and George Oglethorphe had a lot to do with Georgia. Jamestown was the 1st town to be settled by the English, the Pilgrims came over to Plymouth. St. Augustine, FL is the oldest town in America. So I guess I've still got some info stored up there. So with 40 mins left to go, I'm going to go eat some lunch/dinner real quick. Wish me luck!
