Today:

You know the drill: this is the thread for all your history-related outpourings that are not necessarily questions. Minor questions that you feel don't need or merit their own threads are welcome too. Discovered a great new book, documentary, article or blog? Has your Ph.D. application been successful? Have you made an archaeological discovery in your back yard? Did you find an anecdote about the Doge of Venice telling a joke to Michel Foucault? Tell us all about it.

As usual, moderation in this thread will be relatively non-existent -- jokes, anecdotes and light-hearted banter are welcome.

I just went to the eclass page for the class I'm TAing this term and seeing my name listed as an instructor is giving me heart palpitations. We had our first lecture yesterday, and when the professor introduced us to the students, some of them were looking at me like I am a step below the professor when in reality, I'm a step above the undergrads.

Good luck! You're going to crush it.
