Another anniversary and changing my major

As I've written before, this is a summer of anniversaries. Thirty years ago today Richard M. Nixon resigned the presidency of the United States, the first and only holder of that office to do so. This was, of course, the result of the Watergate scandal, which paralyzed Nixon's presidency and led to impeachment proceedings in the Congress. This climactic event occurred in the middle of the Cyprus crisis, which was having such an impact on our family.

A few weeks later I returned to university, dropped my music major and picked up a political science major instead.
