Week Two

I wanted to post about what it takes to be a historian and to study history. The historian's craft is not for the weak-of-heart. It takes someone who likes to read and who is dedicated enough to be able to go through massive amounts of literature. It is not easy to be a historian. (not that I'm calling myself a historian, at this point I am merely a student of history) I am going to do this at different points throughout the semester, but here are my stats for week 2:

Pages read - 625
Hours spent in lecture - 20
Pages of notes taken in lecture - 15
Papers written - 2 (9 pages total)
Someday earning the title 'Historian' - priceless
