I came back here expecting someone to try to discourage me from studying it. For some reason, some people think it's a useless subject, i don't know why. But anyway, i'm glad someone agrees with me. I'm passionate about history, always have been. Something about the past just interests me, i suppose it's because society changes so much but i'm not sure what it is. Anyway, what periods in history did you look at? 

Mostly european, altough I hope that is going to change when i get introduced with foreign history. Like mongolian, china, japan seems interesting. One of the periods that interest me the most is the Minoan civilization. i remember when i was 10 I did my lecture about the minoans. Everyone was talking about their sport or pet and i did it about the minoan civilization lol.

Anyways, yours?

That is fucking awesome. Completely out of left field. Made my night. That's some interesting story. Good luck.

I don't really know until i start in October but on the university open day there was European, American and Chinese history from what i remember. I wish there was a greater variety though and most of it is only from the last 500 years from the looks of it. But never mind, there is still alot to choose from. 

Right now,

The kids are old enough that they're starting to play more advanced videogames and are taking a liking to some of the games I enjoyed while growing up. Things are going great with my wife, we're happier than I can remember us being, and we've always been happy. Money is good. I'm also traveling a lot more than ever before, and I have a family to enjoy it with.

I still have to wait a year before I can go to college. last year of highschool now.

But from what I know now is that I get 17hrs history. 1hr of art history, that will probably become the class I'm never going to. And another hour where you have to translate writings, mainly in old-french. But I really, really suck at french so I'll probably suck at that too. But the other hours are looking pretty sweet to me :D

Your education system sounds pretty different to my country. School is compulsory till 16 in my country when we take GCSE's. If we get decent grades in that, we can go on to A-levels but may go to college (something completely different here) or just go to work (like there is any!). I choose to do A-levels where we pick 3 or 4 subjects to do for 2 years (i did politics, history and geography). I finished in June with the final exams (exams were modular over the 2 years). If i do well in that i get to go to my first choice University (what you call college), otherwise i go to my second choice. I just wish university wasn't so expensive here (£9,000 per year) 

But yeah, At a-level history i did the Suffragettes (worst topic ever!), Late Tudor and Early Stuart England, Revolutionary Russia and Revolutionary France. Also, good luck in your final year at school. 

sounds totally different indeed. Normally I graduated high school this year, but I had to do a year over few years back. I wish I could do history at an early year. But I've looked for it and there is just no highschool that focusses on history/ geography. So I'll have to bear through it. Now I do physical education and sport. I can become a physiotherapist and other related stuff with it. But that's not what i want.

And thanks ;) you too
