ANCIENT. HISTORY. The classical and pseudo-classical world from around c.1500-50 BC.
Specifically Archaic Greek tyranny, socio-economics, Athenian Imperialism methods of control and ideology, Thucydides' "Pentecontanetia", and early Greek historiography.
My absolute passion. |

| I apologise. I've got quite a chip on my shoulder about rahs who think that a gap year is just a sort of 'thing that happens'. Sorry if I offended you. No hard feelings? :) In any case - the difference is with me is that I am diagnosed, and have had years of psychological help and therapy - I'm stil... |

It's a bit depressing, because I really can't get down to studying anymore, but I'm happiest when I'm studying, and my piles of books sort of taunt me in a way (okay, that sounds psychotic but you get my meaning here, I hope).
