Accepted For Honours
In the mail today was my Offer Of Study from VicUni accepting me for Honours in History for this year. Finally! I've been waiting to hear back definitively from them since December - I'm presuming the reason was someone holidaying, or the need to ensure the papers I was taking had sufficient numbers (because I would have to take another paper instead if that were not the case). Great to finally know I am accepted though - reply will be in the mail tomorrow!
Courses I am taking:
- HIST404 - A Topic in the History of the US (perhaps looking at Reconstruction or the New Deal in the South if I can focus on that)
- HIST 407 - Magic, Witchcraft, Religion in Early Modern Europe (I'd like to do something to do with some Reformation Era religious controversy for an essay, but we'll see)
- HIST 419 - A Topic in Historiography 1 (took a similar paper at undergrad level, hopefully this goes into more depth - at the least, it is treading familiar territory)
- HIST 421 - A Topic in European History 2 (on trade and commerce in the Atlantic - looking forward to some more economic style history)
I'm looking forward to the challenge. Hopefully the courses and the year lives up to my expectations.
