Strange and Awkward Encounters with the History Department

Very bad news: I got the worst grade on a history paper on Monday that I've gotten since... Freshman year of high school? Earlier? Anyway. I was devestated. I'm still in shock mode, though I have to say I saw it coming... as contradictory as that seems...

Bad news: This grade was "only," as Kaira puts it, a "B-." And it counts as 15% of my grade. I need to get "A"s and "A+"s for the rest of the semester if I want to maintain/better my grade.

Okay news: I think I can do that.

Better news: The professor who gave me that grade spent most of his comments telling me how much he enjoyed the essay, how strong my writing is, and how much he liked most of the essay (except the bits where I got distracted).

Good news: I'm now officially a History major/Historic Preservation minor!

Best news: My favorite professor is now my advisor.

... I can't believe it's only Tuesday.
