... especially when I LOVE English Lit but find History boring at best. I love ancient history. I find the World Wars interesting. I even like the stuff in-between the Celts and WWI, when it comes to European history.  I do not find studying the Cold War in mind-numbing detail interesting.

Anyway. Yesterday I was writing an essay on the Cold War, and I was tired and half-conscious, and I had to keep reminding myself that it was POST-REVISIONIST and not POST-MODERN. Everything went fine until I was writing the conclusion. I looked down and saw I'd written that I found the post-modernist view of the origins of the Cold War the most convincing. See, Sylvia Plath's argument has a lot more evidence than Carol Ann Duffy, though Ted Hughes does bring up some good points too. ;)
