History Pub Crawl

Just read over my last post. *Sigh* If only I'd put that much effort into my classwork, or, say, into learning about Julian when I had to, y'know, take an exam on her...

Went on the pub crawl last night. I met a lot of really cool people. I don't know if I'll see any of them anytime soon--I recently realized that my Creative Writing class runs over the regular meeting time of the History Soc--but I hope I do. I even met one guy who listened to me rant about the sad state of American politics for over half an hour, and had the grace to tell me he didn't mind. He also told me I was the first American he'd met. One of the other guys I met kept asking me about what sort of music I listen to. When I told him I listen to country (did I just admit that in public? Ignore that, please. Never happened), he wanted to know what artists. Turns out he knows a whole 2 country artists: Johnny Cash and Shania Twain. Oh, and how, exactly, does one explain what New Age music is to someone who doesn't know? I just couldn't describe it adequately.

Anyway, since socs around here are mostly an excuse to go get hammered with like-minded people, there wasn't that much history imparted. I did learn that the Castle Mall was built in the old moat, and that some of the rooms in the City Hall still aren't completed, and it's been 70 some years since it was built. Towards the end I stopped listening to our leader anyway, because I was toward the back of the group and I was talking to people. I know, I'm a bad history student. Sorry.
