CONGRATULATIONS!
With my awful finals week and Christmas craziness, I was never able to brag on Brittany who graduated from Ball State with her Bachelor's in History this December!!! Congrats grad, your future looks bright! This blog wouldn't be the same without you! -Katie
I'm writing my thesis at my kitchen table and the trash can is right behind me. I keep smelling something weird and I can't tell if it's me or the trash #thesis

How about 8, 17, 18, 22, and 30. With the same question I'll always ask, "Who is your least favorite historical figure?"
8. What is the last thing you have read/ listened/ spoke with historical reference?
17. What historical item would you like to own?
18. Look at the clock and assume the numbers are forming historical year ( 17;58 would be 1758) What was / is / will be the world that year? Any event happened then or will happen?
22. Random historical fact about the place you are at the moment.
30. Ask me a question of your own.
Katie:
8. At the moment, I’m listening to The Aviators: Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and the Epic Age of Flight while I digitize books at the library for the summer.
17. I don’t ever really feel like I need to own a piece of history for myself…but if I had to pick, I would want one of John James Audubon’s prints or a WPA poster advertising the American national park system.
18. I guess in military time it would be 17:08 and, according to Wikipedia, Bach became the chamber musician and organist at the court in Weimar, Germany in 1708. Is that a decent answer to that question?
30. Right now, because I recently listened to Monuments Men, my least favorite historical figure is Hermann Goering and other Nazi plunderers who tried to systematically erase the culture and history of an entire group of people while simultaneously believing themselves to be connoisseurs of fine taste and hoarding train cars full of stolen property.
Brittany:
8. I think the last thing was that I watched Monuments Men a couple weeks ago. Also I had to explain my history major/life goals to my boyfriend’s entire extended family this weekend so that counts right?
17. My item is kind of huge. I want to own Thomas Jefferson’s personal library. I would never be able to take that away from the public though so I would settle for copies of all of the books.
18. My time year thing is 2000. This was the new millennium and this is when the big Y2K scare happened.
22.Katie and I have the same answer for this question so I’ll just answer it. We are both in Newburgh, Indiana. This was the first town north of the Mason Dixon Line to surrender to the South during the Civil War. There were no shots fired in this battle because the southern troops set up logs (or stove pipes I can never remember) on the opposite banks of the Ohio River to look like cannons pointed straight at the town. The troops in Newburgh surrendered immediately.
30. And I really don’t like Napoleon.
Thanks for the questions!!
