History Nerd

So those who know me well know that I can easily become filled with love for people in an instant. Maybe it's just the passionate side of me, but I have to admit it, the same applies for history. I love, adore, and cherish history with my whole heart and soul and in this moment I have to express my appreciation.

It's hard to describe why I love it so much. I love the cause/effect, I love the social issues, and the personal application. I love watching movies and saying "Oh that's totally Civil War fashion." Or "this painting totally depicts the Great Depression." It truly makes me happy and heck, it makes me feel smart. And there aren't many subjects that allow me to feel that way.

I just went to Seagull Book, and bought this great buy for 3 bucks.

Yes, it gives a description of each president; his life in office and important domestic and foreign events that paralleled his presidency. It's fascinating so far and I am eating it up.

I am a history nerd through and through and I am dang proud of it. Good thing I love what I teach, eh?
