Man oh man oh man oh man, I wish you had been my social studies teacher! Your class actually sounds both useful and fun -- in short, the antithesis of the classes I endured. And just to make it clear: I loved almost all of my academic classes - from Latin and Greek to computer programming. It was just social studies that I found mind-numbingly boring. I have no doubt whatsoever that had you been my teacher, I would have had a very different attitude toward the subject. You seem to be as good a teacher as you are a fanfic writer -- and that is high praise indeed.
Joy,
Lynn
