You know what would be really interesting to study?
Comparing the way different countries teach their students about what happened during a certain period of time.
I was just outlining part of chapter 37 a minute ago, and I noticed that Bailey didn't talk about the Holocaust very much. There are textbooks that go futher into the tragedies that occured in those gas chambers, but I wonder which country gives the most accurate and unbiased account of history. I don't know, it's just a random thought.
The more time I spend outlining or doing homework for APUSH, I can't help but reconsider a major in history. I've wanted to since middle school actually, and it was the first major I put down on my PSATs, but I don't know what I can be besides a historian or teacher after majoring in history. Besides, how much would I enjoy that in the future anyway right?
Honestly, I'm feeling really apprehensive about my choices for senior year course selections. After receiving many many =O faces from people after telling them that I was taking four APs, I am definitely reconsidering. It all comes down to take four APs or don't take AP Chinese. I think my course selections are definitely leaning toward a social science major for me, but how much money can I possibly make?! AHHhhhh
Lets make one thing clear though; I don't like government and current events as much as I like history. History is just more interesting! And, it's less terrifying.
Okay I'm dileriously tired right now, but I have 6 more pages of outlining to do on top of a bunch of other shit.
I'll leave you with a hilarious quote:
"You have been a Democrat all your life. I don't mind the church converting a whore, but I don't like her to lead the choir the first night"
--- a former Senator, to the then Republican Presidential candidate Wendell L. Willkie who was formerly a Democrat (1940)
LOL
