All opinions are my own.
Old Icelandic Literature - slightly cheating, cause I was a history major, so the fact that this was an english class that was very heavily history was part of the appeal. My none cheating answer is Indo-European Linguistics, which was just a fascinating class.

My friends and I used to describe our undergrad soviet history professor as “a man with a drawer full of screams” and somehow… I did not learn a lesson from that.

I grew up on a farm in a valley in Appalachia and because my parents weren’t from the area, I still only qualify as Southern. My husband who grew up in town (pop: 4000) can jokingly say he’s a redneck, but no one would call him hill people. People really don’t get how specific these terms are.
