anyone else just completely in love with ancient history?Or am I the only freaky history nerd weirdo here?

anyway,if you haven't run screaming for the hills yet,why not tell why you like ancient and what year 12 subject you were most looking forward to doing in ancient this year(yeah that includes last term too)



why do I get the feeling I'm going to be all alone on this one......

 

[professor]

i love history as well, but didn't take it as a course in prelim and i really regret it since i took IPT instead coz my teacher said i'll do really well in it...

 

[Vampire Maharet]

did you end up doing well in it?

 

[professor]

Consistent B's without studying, but i dun have the motivation anymore while in history, man i dun need motivations and still get A's during yr9/10

 

[Christine]

I love history - its a shitload of work tho!!

 

[Ram_Booster]

Ancient history is the best course you can

sure it may be long, but you remembeit easier cause you actually enjoy it, well i do

only sh*t thing was that my school didnt offer it as no students applied the year before

yeh i love ancient i was psyched to do extension history but my school refused to do it!!! so not happy and we had heaps of kids n teachers who wanted to do it as well. im not sure what we're doing all year but so far we've done minoan society and are currently doing agrippina the 2nd

 

[malayz_angel]

I love ancient history too-- actually I'm doing ancient, modern AND extension. I just have a really boring teacher who continously drills the same shit in our heads and doesn't start on anything new!!!

"If nobody's perfect then I want to be nobody."

i really enjoyed studying Agrippina... she was cool...

right now we are studying Ancient Roman writers and we have all been assigned one to do our oral on... i got stuck with 'Pliny The Elder' who is SO boring (and stupid... he decided to sit close to volcano when it errupted)

 

[PiRo]

history rules. only wish i was a neard as well

 

[wednesday]

Hey, for our next 2 topics we're doing Greece 440-500 bc and greece 500-880 bc or something along those lines. Hey snakeoils did u find Agrippina confusing? and did u make any good study notes on her that you'd like to share with me

 

[wednesday]

Yeah we're doing Sparta this term. We're going to Milsons Point next Monday on an excursion for a seminar "Discover Spartan Society". I have no idea how helpful it will be.

ellebelle, ~*MIZREX*~
i did sparta last year, very intresting to say the least (as with all other ancient history topics), just make sure u know enough bout the social structure and the government system, and know all the anicent spartans words for them, a few of them are way too simmilar....

WOOHOO!!!! hooray for ancient history study days I have been on way too many of those Some of them are good, some are bad, it just depends on who the speakers are. Is Kathryn Welch going to be at yours? she was at ours and she was quite interesting, but on the otherhand I found Gae Callender (egypt) EXTREMELY boring. But I still recommend going to them cause you get a different opinion on the ancient & modern sources from your teacher, and in history opinions make a lot of difference.

i love aggie (agrippina the 2nd)

it can get very confusing tho i do agree, anyone whos lost i reccomend watching I claudius or doing a bit of background reading on augustus and the Julio claudians.

 

[wednesday]

christine, i got told that some facts in I claudius are incorrect is that true?

oh and did you hear that calligula aka gaius inducted a horse into the senate??? what a crazy person
