On the cusp of OAH I have no other word but excitement!!
It's another weekend full of history. Not that every day of my life hasn't been filled with history, but this is the kind of history I get to pick.
There is something to be said about learning about something you are interested in. I enjoy my medieval and Islamic history classes but this semester the class I a m enjoying the most is my research methods class. It's because I can choose what I am researching. It's something interesting to me every week. It's the same idea with OAH. I get to listen to lectures on American History and Public History and the future of both.

Then there is the books...

Ok, I cleaned the drool off my keyboard, back to writing. The idea that I am able to explore my own area of interest seems to be refreshing me and will hopefully kick me out of this end of semester slump I've been in.

Did I mention the books?
