Today's Class

Okay, I know that you don't want a daily blow-by-blow of my class that I'm taking, but today I was particularly excited and wanted to share. After watching a grueling amount of "The Birth of A Nation" (silent movie...enough said?) we had a "visit" from Ben Tillman (performed by a professor from Francis Marion University) and then a tour of the archive stacks. WHOA!! Too cool!!

We saw a document signed by John Locke, school reports from the late 1800s, a decree prior to the Revolutionary War and the sucession of SC document. It was a slightly thrilling (and very National Treasure) feeling to be in the "stacks" and viewing these actual, historical documents.

On a side, non-class related note, tonight I attended the prospective member meeting for the Edventure Discovery Council. I had a great time and it was so nice to finally be out in a social setting! I'm looking forward to getting involved.
