Did accounting in Year 12, waste of subject, should have done chemistry, would have linked well with my engineering course

There is nothing boring, dry or dull about it. You're doing it wrong.
Preach, sister.

I'll tell you what is boring - trying to summarise my entire course of 'The Rise and Fall of the First Reich' and desperately trying to learn it before my exam on Wednesday, considering I know very little about it. Most boring piece of crap, not helped by my error in selecting the course thinking the First Reich was Bismarck and 19th Century Germany, not the 9th-13th Centuries.

Stat we need to urgently discuss the implications of the history of 13th Century Germany, preferably during the game.

Well I'm up to speed now. Where do you wanna start? The Investiture Controversy, or the Crusades? Both play a pretty vital role in the relations between the German Empire and the Papacy.

How about the absorption of the Germanic armies into what eventually became the Holy Roman Empre
SM

What do you mean eventually became? The Roman Empire was an ongoing concept, and the German people became a part of that when Otto I married Adelheid and became King of Italy. The 'Holy' concept in the Roman Empire wasn't even added until the 12th Century I'm pretty sure. The Germanic kingdom was essentially a part of the Roman Empire in its totality, with the German King more often than not anointed Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope.

That's true, but the skills they teach you are still pretty useful/practical. But with the wrong teacher it can feel like torture, so I feel your pain!

^This. Accounting is so interesting and useful with the right lecturer.

I got 50% in Stats if you're interested? So I'm definitely a Statless Machine.

No, should be a comma after Stats.
