Fascination.

I am in two Cold War-ish classes right now and I am learning so much. It's almost to the point where we are in over-load. Anyways, I was assigned to read a book by anne applebaum, titled Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1944-1956. It is SO good. If you need a good read, you should check that out. She also has others written on the Gulag prison system. It is crazy how everyone knows quite a bit about the Holocaust when the Gulag is hardly acknowledged by many. There is so much to learn.

Today marked the first meeting of the History Club I am starting. There were a total of ten people, so less than I was hoping for, but we figured out some ideas that needed to be discussed. Sometimes, I get really excited about school - with the social aspects and I simply love to learn. However, it is fairly easy to get bogged down. Right now I am feeling quite overwhelmed with it all. I keep telling myself, one day at a time...

What have you been learning about that has fascinated you?

Also, any suggestions for me for spring break?
