Even though I've changed directions of this blog once, I would like to add subject: history. This is mostly out of being bored of talking about myself; I suppose my life is just not controversial enough.
Lately I have been seriously considering changing my career paths, which is a big deal for me. Since I was 4 years old I've said that I would be a psychologist, mostly because I need to help people to be happy. But another thought has occured to me: by learning about history & finding a way to apply it to every day life I could help people, too! I've always been interested in German & Jewish history, especially Holocaust history. This semester one of my classes is a History of the Holocaust course, & I've really enjoyed being able to devote all of my "free" time to learning more. Right when I think that there's nothing more to know about it, I find something completely different in the history books; I think that's the way most people view Holocaust history. They think there is a set number of facts: 6 million died, Nazi's are evil, Hitler's dead, & the rest is just details.
So, since I don't know anyone who likes to discuss history (other than when I make my husband listen), I thought I would start writing. If anyone stops by that has opinions or advice, I'm all ears!
