About Me

      Hey there! So, you want to know more about me? All right.

      I am a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
      My major is history.

      Berkeley has an excellent history program and offers courses in the areas that I find especially interesting, including the History of Science and Technology and United States history.

      I am currently taking courses in the history of Traveling Through Nature, and the history of Warfare (from a biological perspective).

      I completed my senior thesis paper last year. My topic was the so-called Briggs Initiative, otherwise known as Proposition 6 on the California ballot in 1978. Proposition 6 would have made it legal for teachers to be fired for being homosexual, or for advocating homosexuality (even if they were not homosexual).

      Here are some links I have found that relate to the areas of history I enjoy.
      The Ancient World Web
      Diogenes' Links To The Ancient World
      Antiquity On-Line
      Exploring Ancient World Cultures
      History of Mathematics
      OHST Home Page
      The Index Of Medieval Medical Images

      Along with many other things in my life recently, my career plans have changed. I will be graduating with a degree in history at the end of this semester, but instead of going into teaching, which is what I was going to do, I want to go to Veterinary College and become a veterinarian. It is something that I have always wanted to do, but never thought I could. I now realize that a person can do anything if they really want to.
