During the last Fall quarter at Whatcom, I recieved Western's acceptance letter for Winter 2009. After a flurry of administrative paperwork, getting advice, and registering, I started my first class today.
The entire quarter will be History! I finally get to delve into my major. The first class is History of the Pacific Northwest, another History of African Americans, and History from 1713 to the Present. Books? About fourteen! Amongst them some classic inviting texts, and one with an juicy title of A Pocket Guide to Writing in History.
Amongst the stack lies the one and only Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx. Oh dear! Well it was a part of history.
It is a blessing from the Lord, a dream coming alive.

This is soooo exciting!! I can't wait to hear more about it! 14 books?! Wow!!
Hey hey, now you're a Western girl - conrgatulations Historian Anne! Last night I was up late planning my spring and summer quarters. Lord willing, both will find me swimming - or at least wading - in my major. Hip hip hooray!
14 textbooks? I thought 4 books plus 2 online texts was alot for a single class. :)
P.S. I read part of the Communist Manifesto in Eng 102 and thought Karl's argument wasn't very sound... You have nothing to fear but walk boldly in grace. :)
ahh, yes planning the quarters can be so time consuming! Good for you:)
Have you gotten soaked yet?
Thanks Emily,
Hope your quarter is off to a interesting start!
Oh my dear friend how wonderfully exciting!!! Yay! It is so neat how the Lord works things out perfectly. Wow, that is a ton of books but I think you will enjoy most of them. :D I have been thinking about you and will continue to pray for you. So sorry about the Marx book, I know God will use you mightily.
love you
That is SO wonderful, Vanessa! What a special experience. Hope you enjoy every minute of it, and all the ticklish breezes that come along with the quarter. =)
I am so excited for you my friend! What a pleasure it is to be studying your passion. :P
Yay I'm so glad you are at Western with us! yay!
I've taken a course in Pacific Northwest History too and another one on Western Civilizations which used the same textbook (the one with the photo of the immigrants on the cover) as yours! I enjoyed both classes. History is always interesting to study, especially when you know the Author behind it!
Have a super quarter!
