What great news I received today! I had filled out an audit form awhile ago and went today to get the results back about when I would graduate and what all classes I had left to take. I was thinking going into it that I had at least two classes if not more thinking and hoping I was going to be able to graduate in August.
Well, the lady sits me down and goes through the audit and tells me "well it looks like all you need is just one writing course and you'll be done" wow! what a blessing! I am so excited. I thought that I would at least be cramming another two courses in the first part of the summer and have no time for anything else before I headed to TX to work at the camp.
The writing course that I've been wanting to take is a Social Science on the Holocaust and meets everyday but Friday for a month and then I'll be done! WWII has been my favorite thing to study since I was a little kid. I always never really liked to study history because there was always a lot of reading and memorizing dates, but WWII has always been something that engulfs my attention. I could read, look at pictures, watch movies, and t.v. shows about it for forever. I have no idea why this subject in particular fascinates me but I does. Mostly the Holocaust part of it.
I can't fathom why someone would want to wipe out a whole group of people. It's astounding and angers me. I get so angry thinking about Hitler and all those others who were so awful. How did the guards of those camps feel so angry towards those people and look them in the eye and shoot them, gas them, and work them to the bone?
I just heard the other day that Muslims don't believe in the Holocaust because they think that it was just to make people have sympathy towards the Jewish. UUGHHH!!
It makes me sick.
I supposed to be going to Germany in December possibly over Christmas visiting my brother while he is stationed there with my sister in-law and my mom. I am really interested in actually going to the camps and seeing old buildings of that time. Europe is where a whole lot of history is and I have sadly never been there.
Rachel, have you seen The Pacific? Holy. Cow. It is sooooo good. For the most part, it's historically accurate because it follows the memoirs of marines, Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and Sid Phillips (Sledge and Phillips are from Mobile and were best friends.) I know it's more about the Pacific side, but it ends up being a lot more interesting than I thought. Sid Phillips, one of the characters lives about 20 something miles from Fairhope and I got to go drive by his old childhood home the other day. The neighborhood is just like it was back when he was growing up! Anyways, it's an awesome series. And I know what you mean about WWII. I love that history, too.
