Got Mountain Dew in your keyboard again?

Nahhhh, He's got an error in his servers.

I would hate to have an error in the servers, but i'll tell you what is the most annoying thing ever, having a router that refuses to work, and decides to cut out, or just sign me out of msn ¬¬. VERY annoying indeed . lol

But aside from errors and stuffs just had my spanish speaking exam today. I was dreading it. It was SO so so so so easy i think i did okay .

by servers I mean him.

Rochey is actually an Irish Supercomputer planning world domination.

Interesting. What sort of stuff is on the European History exam? I'm interested to know what you Yanks learn of us.

We basically covered the year 1300 to (roughly) the present in the cours of a school year (9months). We should have more than 1 year. Currently in class we're talkinga bout the pre-WWII Rise-of-Various=Dictatorships era. Today we wrapped up the Spanish Civil War and talked about the rise of Benito Mussolini. Tomorrow we finish Italy and move on to Russia.

Well, I'm off with Ian to the first showing of Star Trek tomorrow night, and then probably see it again saturday, leading up to seeing it in IMAX on Sunday!

Holy crap, it's just hit me that I have to sit down and write a review of this thing! That people will read! Eeeeeep!

But hey, I liked Nemesis so I doubt anybody listens to me any more.

I do, I liked Nemesis as well...

Well that's two less people's opinions I have to bother being interested in now.

I liked Nem for the most part too...

Basicly we cover all of Europe from the Renessance to modern times...hence we actually get in depth very little, but we get a general overview of important international things....but stuff like the Irish-British relations were completely overlooked (at least in my class)

Not surprised on that count. The Anglo-Irish relations are a pretty minor incident in European history.

On another note, I'm surprised you cover the Rennaissance, and not things like the Roman Empire or the Dark Ages.

Over here, European history vaguely covers the mesolithic to bronze age eras, the Roman Empire, Medieval times, the Rennaissance, the French and American revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, ignores WWI completely (a sticky subject for us, hence we just pretend it never happened), the inter-war period, WW2, the Cold War, formation of the EU, and then moves onto the Irish War of Independence, Civil War, and foreign relations up until the late 80's.

You see, our school only requires 1 year of European history, so it's condense. We have one chapter of Europe Until 1300 and then we move on. The conclusion are AP Euro class reached about WWI is: Most stupid, pointless, and easily prevented War in European History (yes, more stupid and pointless than the Crimean War.) We had a good time examining how the war started and how it was fought...

I'll note that you didn't mention the battles of Coleto or San Jacinto.

School-taught history seems to be universally area-centric.
