I've been reading a lot of different blogs lately. Most about personal finance, but some just about the tribulations of making life simply go. I've always liked the idea behind a blog. A journal to record the brilliant thoughts and adventures of life, but with the ability to share them with the world (and of course by world I mean the 1 person who might one day stumble upon this web address). Mostly, it seems like it might be cathartic to publish the attempt of two historians trying to make their way in the world. Can we stay afloat financially? Can we get into Ph.D. programs within a reasonable distance of one another? Can we eventually get work in our chosen field? Who knows!?! We'll find out together - S
