US History (Wednesday, April 19, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Your exam might be next week, but we still have most of the 20th Century to cover," Josh said, "so strap yourselves in and prepare to take notes."

He pointed at the board where he had scrawled World War II, then back at the class. "Because the first one just wasn't enough."

Josh then proceeded to whip the class through Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Eisenhower, Pearl Harbor, Midway, D-Day, FDR, Truman, dropping a couple of nuclear bombs on Japan and the lasting legacy of the Holocaust in an hour.

He looked pretty impressed with himself.

"One question for you all, then feel free to discuss what you think the lasting importance of World War II was--if Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, why did the United States first enter World War II in the European Theater, rather than the Pacific?"

Most definitely! I'm going to invite Cally to come with us too. Anyone else we should ask?

The more the merrier! Are you going to prom with someone? If so, who?

Piper tried very hard not to start giggling in the middle of class.

He loves spending time with you, too.

Veronica, also tried hard not to giggle. She might not have been successful.
