Wednesday is the first day of what promises to be an easier albeit very busy semester. Music history, African history and biology are the three courses I am taking. Various 1 credit odds and ends round out the schedule. The highlights for the semester lie in an independent study on German nationalism and the frosting on the proverbial cake, a one-week seminar with historian and author David McCullough. Most recently the author if 1776, Mr. McCullough gained national fame (as well as my own personal affection for his writings) after his biography of John Adams, which was on the New York Times Bestsellers List for over a year. His seminar, which I believe to be about leadership and history (granted I didn't pay too much attention to the course title, I was sold by the author's name), should be an absolute joy for me.

I have thus managed to inform on my overall class takings without posting a copy of my actual schedule. Feel free to e-mail if you feel inclined to know the entirety of the schedule (or if you simply want to correspond).
