Grr...Historians.
* Disclaimer: I have many Historian-friends and have nothing against them. I think they are very nice people. The following complaints I have have stemmed from a module that I enjoy but feel very very small doing.
Historians are confusing. They analyse the questions so thoroughly yet don't seem to be answering the questions when they study the events.
Historians think a lot. I thought I thought sensitively about issues. I'm wrong. There are no simple answers in History class.
Historians go through events chronologically, systematically. Rather than discuss issues in themes, which I am way more familiar and comfortable with, they discuss the articles step by step, paragraph by paragraph.
Historians make me go totally quiet during tutorials. I know nuts about history, how to talk history. I am a Geographer.
Historians make me feel silly.
Historians make me feel small.
Historians make me feel stranded.

sigh, yes i know.
the thing about historians is that they see something we don't. yes, it can get annoying at some point of time.
but here's the interesting part. was there at any point in your life where you read too much into something? such as quotations? people's comments? the requirements to move on in life? that u somewhat start reading it out of line?
life is full of positives n negatives. its how u want to look @ it, is seeing truely believing it ? do u think that their study into history, are their true colours?...

Hey Daniel :)
Wonder if u read replies to comments. But here goes...I have totally nothing against historians. I find what they study well, interesting at times. But I guess when one takes it as a subject that one has to study, in this case, ME, then history isn't that great. Haha.
