I finished my Geography of the City class. It was amazing. I learned so so so much about Omaha - settlement, growth, changes. Things I never knew about, but were HUGE to the city's, area's, state's (even nation's) history...Stockyards, Trans-Mississippi Expo (World's Fair 1898), the riots of 1919, the ethnic neighborhoods, Tom Dennison, the Gold Coast, all the OLD annexations - South Omaha, Dundee, Benson, etc., Brandeis Dept. store, streetcars, the railroad, the cool things I wouldn't have guessed about the Old Market, N. and S. 24th St. IT'S SO COOL! I think it's the best when you "learn things you never knew you never knew" (thanks Pocahontas).
I am really tired of getting the feeling that my life is somehow less important because I'm single, because I don't have children, because I don't have a high paying job.
I had such a fun time hanging out with Paula and Amy last night. I've missed those ladies. I probably should be in North Bend at Old Settler's tonight, but I am kind of content being a recluse and a coward. I will probably go tomorrow night, but I am terrified.
