Hello readers! I'm going to tell you a little about myself and this blog.
This blog is for anyone interested in learning more about alternative forms of higher education. What does that mean, exactly? It basically means anything other than this: marching directly from graduation to college, through four years of all-nighters and bad beer, to arrive at last at the World's Most Expensive Piece of Paper (your diploma), which you will spend the next several decades working to pay off, just in time to start saving for your own kids to repeat the procedure.
If you choose to rebel from this, you can save years of time and boatloads of cash, which you can invest in practical work experience, starting your own business, traveling, or doing That Weird Thing you've always wanted to do. Heck, you could even buy borderline-palatable beer!
As for who I am: I'm supposed to be a junior in high school, but I've set out on a homeschooling/dual enrollment/advanced placement/distance learning/credit by examination journey that I'll be sharing with you.
On this blog, I'll be sharing the information that my family and I have dug up, valuable resources, my experiences on this adventure, and a fair amount of snarky commentary. (You're welcome to skip the latter). I plan on posting at least once a week.
Welcome aboard, and here we go!
