Deverell really liked my paper!! He said that I'd done a really terrific job of treating both large and small issues in a difficult topic, and he was quite impressed with the quality of work. -grins- Also, I'm getting an A+ in that class - I'll be editing the paper as soon as he sends me his suggestions.

Hooray! I'm not a failure as a historian. -beams- Take that, self-doubt!
