Oh to Blog: The Future of Historians

A historian once spoke about how things are changing.  Our primary documents of the future will no longer be books and letters, but blogs and Facebook posts.  An interesting thing to ponder as I begin my own blog.

I came upon this idea due to my friend, Heather, who shared her blog with me. It seemed interesting and a fun way to vent and share my thoughts and memories. I suppose we shall see.

I just finished reading The Confederate War by Gary W. Gallagher. It is an intriguing read, about how and why the Confederate soldiers continued to fight for as long as they did, even in the face of such opposition.  Now, I shall figure out exactly what my thoughts are and write a four page essay over whether or not the South had a chance to win.

Luckily, I created this blog just in time to find many ways to procrastinate.  I'm terrible about that, I this semester is becoming one long procrastination. I cannot wait for this summer, as I need the break.  I'm ready to start bike riding to lose weight, to learn French, to read like crazy and just in general have some fun.

Well, I suppose I shall work on my paper.

Have fun!  And oh, for the heck of it,

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor!
