It was a tough brutal three week stretch but in the end, we won! Two term papers, two position papers and a classic final exam but we did it! First semester of graduate school is in the books!Yes, Russian studies major! I had to declare a major in history, picking from European, American, Atlantic World, Military or Public History. EuroMajor with probably military as a minor...That Citadel stuff came in handy after all, I guess....
Maritime History of the Western World, Fall of the Weimar Repubic and Historiography are all offically credited to me. I liked all of the classes and I will put the professors at East Carolina up against anyone...even Harvard. Or even Pitt!
If they don't win, they will at least cover the point spread!
Getting ready for next semester....Documenting Lost Indian Tribes of NC (a little off the beaten path for me but I need a US course...) and History of Ancient Greece.
I know, I know...Ancient Greece is a little of a cop out for me but I need a European course ;-)
Until then I am taking a break unti classes start on Jan 8.
Without false modesty, I can say I earned it!
Time for some pizza!
The Citadel? East Carolina? Sooooo... you're going to be an insurance salesman or a gay porn actor. I'll be following your blog to find out which!
