About Me

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.
