The things I didn't learn in school

[Douglas Westbrook]

Judy,

Sounds wonderful.  I do like images if they go with the text,
but that takes more design.  I would probably like the ones you've  
found!
I love history too, but it wasn't my major.  My major was technology  
training and
development, which I am just now starting to appreciate. While I was  
there, the
software was already outdated with what I was using in my day job.
My favorite part of college was the library, and English class.  
History was presented
as dates to remember, and I never got the whole story.

Lisa,

I suppose I was a bit of an oddball... I took as many courses as I  
could,
regardless of whether or not they helped me graduate any earlier.  I  
read
Mill's On Liberty on my own; I sought out classes in Chaucer, Milton,
Medieval - Renaissance English literature, art history (ancient to
Renaissance) lots of history ('twas my major) and spent alot of time
flunking out of physics.

I find it funny that you prefer history without images.  In my spare  
time
for the last 25+ or so years, I have researched the life of Chaucer's
sisster-in-law, Katherine Swynford.  I probably now spend about as much
time locating images as data.  (A) it's what other people want to  
see, and
(B) I find that I enjoy it as well: how to decode old tombs, MS
illuminations, etc.

You know, and I actually _enjoyed_ my years in college studying various
different things.  Doesn't seem to be the case with my own students,
though.
