History Majors Just Gotta Have Fun

You may think that because we are History majors we dwell in the past. We sit in our rooms, hunched over Plutarch's Life of Crassus with highlighter in hand, prepared to absorb every fact about Crassus' life which Plutarch chooses to divulge, and we never see the light of day, except when history teaches us that if we don't eat, we will die.

This is completely untrue. We both may be pastey, but what can we say? We're naturally pale people. We do get out and have fun. Why, only yesterday, we played tennis. Well, as much as you can "play" when you are chasing after balls that were accidentally aimed at the two older men playing on the court next to you. We also went to a concert on campus. Admittedly, there were no mosh pits or amplifiers to make our ears want to run for cover (well, mostly just Brenna's. They are rather sensitive, poor things). It was sedate acoustic guitar music. But it was wonderful!

Like most other students, we do enjoy getting off campus once and awhile. The most common haunts are Annapolis and Dover. However, when we are feeling very ambitious, we head to Baltimore. All three cities provide nice, off-campus fun. We also enjoy going to the local movie theater or going out to dinner once and awhile.

Right now, we are enjoying Raiders of the Lost Ark. A fantastic movie. Beautiful locations, interesting plot... Harrison Ford is nothing to sneeze at, either. For anyone who is deprived enough to have not seen it, we highly recommend it.

P.S. We know that there have been quite a few posts in the past few days. There will not usually be this many. We're just getting into this and enjoying it immensely.
