Maybe it was the first class or maybe it was more the fact that I haven't taken a history class in a very long time (over 3 years) and the last history class I did take not including Politics and Econ (Senior year of HS) was U.S. History in Junior year... So my point is it has been over 4 year since I've actually sat down and studied European History... *kind of ridiculous*
And it's not that I don't remember anything from Hirota's classes but specifics were definitely lost on me today. Not to mention that we are only covering from 43AD to 1714 so it's not like any of that history happened in the last few centuries. But at least on the bright side this course will serve well to refresh my memory. :P
And by specifics I mean... as an example: In classical times what did the Greeks call Great Britain? If you are like me you had not a clue... but apparently they called them the Tin Islands because of trade between GB's southwest region and the Greek Empire for tin.
Later this afternoon I have Modern Britain from 3-5 and then the last bit of registration which should hopefully be done by 6pm.
Tonight is the Pub tour (golf themed) and tomorrow I have nothing and can finally sleep in. :)
Now that Jet Lag is over it seems that I am tired all the time; which is quite unfortunate. (but not really surprising since I am usually tired all the time at school anyway)
Friday is our first trip... But don't get excited it's only a tour of Canterbury and the Cathedral here, don't worry there will be lots of pictures. :)
Anyway that's all for now, if i'm not exhausted from pub hopping I'll write more later. :)
