I have completed my first class of the new semester: History of Medieval Civilization. It seems like it will be interesting, and I like the way the professor teaches, but I have one very, very large complaint.

We aren't covering the Black Death.

How is this possible? I have wanted to take this class the whole time I was at USC, with the assumption that any serious look at the Medieval Times would have to involve the Black Death, which killed millions of people and was generally just neat to study and stuff. And we aren't covering it! I feel like going up to this professor and saying, "Dude, you have to cover the Black Death. It's the Black Death! Come on!"
