After offers from several amazing programs and visiting and meeting professors and students at all of them, I am happy to say that I have decided to attend the University of Kentucky for my PhD.

@DrLisaCorrigan I have heavy doubts about “independent voter” along with other questions

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

This is the “secret plan to fight inflation,” joke again, isn’t it @BradleyWhitford ?

Do you guys think there is someone at the DNC who made a joke about a surprise guest to a reporter today and has now sweated through like 7 shirts

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

It’s been such an amazing week! I spent today at Arlington National Cemetery, and then seeing the Washington, Lincoln, and WWII memorials, as well as the Vietnam Wall. Now to get everything ready to head home tomorrow, but I will be back soon, DC!

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Okay all, I will finish my research in the archives tomorrow and Thursday morning. Which means I have all of Thursday afternoon to explore. What are things in DC that I for sure should make time to go see?

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Got finished with today’s work a little early, so I got to be a tourist for a little bit

@wall_jules I….did not know tiramisu was such a new creation

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Absolutely loved the first full day in DC, especially now that my hotel issue is cleared up! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Well that’s a neat view to see while landing. DC, I am here!

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Last two days of my internship at Camp Nelson tomorrow and Saturday, then off to DC on Sunday to look at some Civil War Pension documents!

@BradleyWhitford @seanhannity @VP Hannity had Tucker Carlson as a coworker and is gonna try to talk about someone else’s laugh?

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

With two weeks left until I go to DC for a week, what better way to spend a Saturday evening than watching both National Treasure movies?

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

I get a week in DC and the national archives at the end of July! I am very excited for this trip!

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

@HerbertHistory @WhaHistory @TheSouthernSHA Geez I hope not. If it is, I’ll be finding some other hotel and just walking over

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Reading list for the outside field finalized and ready to get started on.

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

At what point do you have to finally just say no to some edits and additions even if it’s for a grade? When do additions/edit suggestions turn a paper from the author’s work into something else?

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

@franklinleonard Moment he slicked that hair back it was over

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

I know it is months away, but are any of my fellow historians planning on going to the SHA/WHA conference in Kansas City in October? I believe I am going to attend, and I wanted to see who else might be in attendance.

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Sitting in our professional development class today talking about historians and social media, our guest faculty member Dr. White gave a shoutout to @HerbertHistory and #HATM as an example of using social media to build your network and work.

[Christian O'Cull @ChristianOCull]

Well conference paper is written finally. Now time to present it tomorrow.
