Yep, due to graduate in December with an MA in History. I'm actually spending the day doing some research for my thesis.

Awesome! A fellow historian! What area of study? I'm currently in India on a Fulbright researching US-India diplomatic history through the State Dept jazz tours during the Cold War, as well as the history of India's Golden Age of Jazz (1930s-50s).

History of Education, my thesis is on the development of rural schools in an Arkansas county between the end of Reconstruction and the onset of the Great Depression.

It's not the most glamorous topic, but I found a great collection of primary sources and a huge gap in the historiography.

That's a great topic! I worked for the San Joaquin County Historical Society last year and one of my tasks was to organize school records from the Gold Rush era through the 1920s. It was fascinating to see how the students were racially classified as either white, black (negro), or Chinese. Any student not fitting white or black was thrown into the Chinese category.
