About the Historian

The Ignorant Historian

The Ignorant Historian

I, Ronnica, am a Diet Dr. Pepper junkie, would-be loner, book lover, 26-year-old single woman working in the non-profit world.  I hail from Kansas, cheer crimson and cream (Go Sooners!), and make my home in Raleigh, North Carolina.  I’m a reader and a writer, a friend and sister, a student and a teacher.

This blog, the Ignorant Historian, is life told by “a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.”  Everything I write is partial, prejudiced, and when I get right down to it, ignorant.  I write about everything from my personal faith and the application thereof to my detestation of the color orange and the misuse of sprinkles.

I chose the name “Ignorant Historian” for a few reasons.  First of all, my old blog name ”Kansas Girl” had to go.  While I still have roots in the state I love, I want to be fully where I am now, which is North Carolina.  Second of all, I’m not quite a “girl” anymore, except in the not-a-boy sense.  Since I’ve graduated with a masters degree and turned 26, I have passed the last possible threshold into adulthood.

But why “Ignorant Historian?”  It’s from the subtitle to Jane Austen’s “History of England,” “by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.”  That’s exactly me.  I might talk a big game, but less face it, I’ve only seen so much in my yet-young life.  I also feel that this title gives proper deference to my love of literature and history.
