Hello, all.
Like my little side bio says, I'm Valerie. I have decided to create a blog to write about one of my true loves, history. Currently I am a graduate student at Penn State University and am studying Humanities. I am hoping to pursue my PhD at some point and eventually become a professor. In order to succeed in that field, one has to write. A lot. So I will be using this blog as practice to write, explore, pursue history.
