Dear Harriet Walter,
Things I've been finding fascinating lately:
- Eugenics and social Darwinism
- The principles and conditions of holy war in the Old Testament
- Clothing styles for professors, male and female
Things I've learned to enjoy in this semester:
- Watching basketball games (in person)
- Watching soccer games (in person)
- Sourdough bread (with warm potato soup)
- Orange pens
Awesome phrases Dr. Mac has made up history classes this past week:
- "proto-pan-Arab nationalism" (when he was teaching us about the creation of the Suez Canal)
- "volk ethos" (he was so excited about this one, he even wrote it on the board, and when class was over I took a picture of it on the board with my phone and he was like "NICE")
Now here is an extremely silly picture taken by friend Shelli of me swing-dancing with a swanky older dude at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Pasadena, just to add color.
