bbc world war 2 evacuation

i have three midterms tomorrow and iapos;ve only really studied for two.� archaeology, roman history and italian.� although, technically, the italian thing isnapos;t a midterm, itapos;s a composition.� iapos;m feeling increasingly depressed about the roman history midterm, because heapos;s so bloody detail-oriented.� thatapos;s not how i roll with history.� i do big-picture history, where you make it a story, and make it interesting.� it doesnapos;t help you understand it any better to get bogged down in trivial little details and irrelevant names, just because those particular people happen to have existed at around the same time.� for history to be effective, you have to keep all the people you introduce linked in with the events youapos;re discussing, otherwise you get a class full of students sitting there going "who the hell is that and why do i care?".� memorizing the family tree will not help you understand the julio-claudians any better.� whatever.

got some books from the library today, so as soon as i get done with midterms this week i can dive into my research papers.� yay.

back to work, i guess...
