Phew.
History is tough.
Some of you are going, "He's only realizing that now?". Others are going, "Pffft! History? BORING!"
Hey, you don't hear me arguing. Although, it is interesting to some extent. Mind you, I didn't say it's mind-blowingly fun. It's just difficult. Why, you ask?
Eh? What's that? You didn't ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway, since I just spent roughly 10 hours studying the French Revolution and I need to vent.
The hard part about A' Level History is not the material. The topics are fine... although I don't really give a damn about what happened centuries ago to some megalomaniacal guy who couldn't keep his grubby hands to himself and had to conquer everything in sight. It's the premise that I have to remember craploads of information. Heck, even that's not so bad because I used to do it as a kid.
No, it's the fact that I have to study all this crap and I just know they'll ask a question which will only require me to use a fraction of the stuff I studied. The other stuff will be for "background".
You see, History at this level is so hard because it's all about the analysis.
And the fact that some old bugger in the UK just wants to screw me over along with every other person taking History.
