I want to be a professor. I want to teach classes about the middle ages, women, religion, and now Africa. I know that doesn't really seem to follow a pattern, but it does. at supersheltered Killian Hill did we even talk about African history? we talked about Egypt a bit, and it's in Africa... but anything else? anyone remember anything? I don't. and today in my world civ class we did and I got that feeling again. whenever I'm not really sure about a period in history and I learn about it, I get this feeling like I'm being told a very important secret. I don't know why the rest of the class doesn't get as excited or angry or sad as I do about things. but we talked about Africa, and so many new ideas were introduced to me that I want to research and write books about. I want to merge the themes of the middle ages, women, religion and Africa. I could do it. maybe it's already been done, but I'll do it in a way no one else has. ahhh. I don't know, maybe all this is dumb and no one cares, but it's like oxygen for me. I didn't want class to end. she let us out a few minutes late and I still wanted to keep going. I never felt that way about a class before. I want to write books about history that no one but history nerds will ever read. that sounds like the most wonderful career anyone could have. I feel so purposeful. ah.
