Thanks so much, contessa! About your notes:
“Manifest destiny” was just meant as a reference to a typically American way of thinking (although it can imply a promised land: the American settlers had an idea that America was God’s Chosen Nation, and the ideas of both Manifest Destiny and promised land came from that).
“Loath though I may be” I kinda meant as a way of poking fun at my way of looking at things, though I can see how that could have backfired.

But thanks for your feedback, and your confidence. Hope to see you on campus next fall!
