Cold War Confused Me

I like how I can call my dad and say: I'm so confused. Was the Cold War an actual war or just a time period?

And he can then spend the next ten minutes explaining the answer and then going through the major events, how it started and when it was resolved.

It's cool having really intelligent parents. I have a great deal to live up to.

Unfortunately, I have to finish studying for finals. Honestly, I have two finals tomorrow and I haven't even opened my psychology book to study. So far it has all been History, history, history since yesterday and I am not going anywhere very fast.

Sigh. I hate this.
