Russian history exam today.

Wish me luck! I predict my prof. will ask me about: women, foreign policy, the Revolution (or perhaps the Rev. and civil war together), and something about workers/peasants/cities. We'll see. I have to write two essays in 3 hours . . . which seems like a long time, but apparently time flies. (Let's hope I can remember enough relevant and smart stuff, though!)

Up next is my international relations (19/20th c.) field, and 20th c. US foreign relations. Then the oral exam on 15 August. It's gonna continue to be an all-comps-all-the-time life for me for the next while. But it's not so bad. Well, let's see how I feel about it in about 12 hours.

Polk Magic, I haven't been all up in your internet for a while. I've missed it. I'm sure your exam went superbly; you're better than the rest of us!

Thanks! The exam went . . . ok, I think. I wrote about gender and the empire. Not fabulous, but hopefully good enough! Now, two more writtens to go, and then the oral. Studying will start again tomorrow.

Best wishes! I'm sure you'll do fine in all of them. I'm sure the professors think so too.
