Today brought some joy: fall weather!!! So happy I got to pull these boots out from the back of my closet!

Unfortunately, this will only last for a day (oh, Texas…) but I long to live somewhere with all four seasons. Crossing my fingers for my History PhD applications next fall, but we’ll see….

Happy Halloween from your favorite Schuyler sister. 🎃🩵

So sorry today has been rough. Sending some good luck and a hug your way. And have some funnies from one of my dogs, who was adamant about being a little helper the last time I got to sit down and write more of my historical fiction novel.

Finally finished William Hogeland’s ‘The Hamilton Scheme: An Epic Tale of Money and Power In the American Founding’, yay! A very interesting and enjoyable read; made me think, too.

Now to more thoroughly dig into Hamilton’s treasury papers, because my curiosity can’t be helped.

Summer break means I finally have all my books in one place again! But the state of things is… overcrowded. But I guess having lots of books is a good problem to have?

Don’t you love it when the book you’re currently reading gets a hello from the pouring rain?
Yeah, me too. 🙁

It’s always fun when I’m doing a bit of research and I come across A.Hamilton just dropping his unfiltered opinions on his paper again.

A plus is seeing the paper and handwriting itself.

That is all.

Some joy has come in the form of my birthday presents to myself arriving a week early! I now own half of The Papers of Alexander Hamilton & couldn’t be happier (funnily, the seller I got these from did not have v14, so it’s missing). Also can’t wait to read Crucible of War once the semester is over!

Happy 21st birthday to me. 😊 I couldn’t resist a run through Barnes and Nobel lol.

Spring Break means having all my volumes of The Papers of Alexander Hamilton together in one place again 🥰🥰🥰

(Let’s ignore that I have no space for the remaining 16 volumes I’ll eventually collect, shh).

When you think an afternoon research session for a project will take a few minutes flipping through a volume of The Papers of William Livingston, but it ends up taking an hour—by the end of which you’re left more stuck than you were when you started. 😂

Digging around the Alexander Hamilton Papers for a project, and of all things today it was a dramatically-written ampersand that gave me a good laugh. It really is the small things.

My schedule is a mess, but at least I’ll be looking forward to some interesting classes this upcoming semester. Especially my American Revolution course, for which I may become insufferable. 😂

For Christmas to myself this year, I thought it was finally time to take back what Nextflix removal took from me: all four seasons of my favorite show probably ever.

The rewatch begins in earnest….

Hi, everyone! 👋
Thought I’d introduce myself! I’m Grace, a History major who intends to specialize in the American Revolution and Early Republic. I have a fascination with Alexander Hamilton and love chocolate and cats!
