So anyhow, apparently we're going to war in a couple of days.
I knew it was coming, but it was still jarring to hear the words. It's about time, and yet I have no idea what the next few weeks will bring. War is never a pretty thing. Necessary in this case, but not pretty.
Classes have started again, just as I was starting to forget what it is like to be constantly thinking about what paper, homework assignment, design problem, etc. is due tomorrow. I think I'm ready for summer now. However, I got my weekly dose of intelligent discussion. I'm sure people wonder how much I really care about Historiography, but as far as I'm concerned, it's the greatest class I've had all year. I love to just sit and soak up the issues, hear different opinions, and realize that there are actually semi-logical people in this world. Next week should be especially interesting, as it's about the Southern Reconstruction. It's not a subject you hear a lot about, but it has a great deal to do with states' rights and the punishment of rebels.
I really should do my taxes now; I need the refund for the tuition deposit. Looks to be an exciting evening.
