Apr. 13th, 2007 10:19 amSo on Wednesday, I got interviewed at Hopkins School; as part of which I got to teach a class. I was originally going to post on this at greater length, but then I started playing Civ III again...
Anyway. ( Architecture rant )
I got up on Wednesday at a hideous hour, so that Grace, who was driving up to Simsbury that day, could drop me off before 8. I then got interviewed by two different people before going upstairsa to teach a class on the revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire, notable as a) the only one of its year where someone ACTUALLY declared independence, and b) extreme confusion, as reflected by a contemporary Hungarian who wrote that "The KiKing of Hungary declared war on the King of Croatia, and the Emperor of Austria remained neutral, and all three monarchs were the same person.” It was also reflected in the confusion of the class, since I had to skip around between topics a lot. But the students actually talked, and I think I did a good job.
Then I went off to be interviewed by three more people, before being taken in to lunch (notablly edible). Then I headed off.
( Rest of the day )
