From what the prof. said it seems like this kind of stuff will come out during the exam, unfortunately. And I hope so too but it doesn't seem very likely. XD

Such a flattering opinion of UK's educational system! ;)
What languages do you speak, then? :>

And I'll just... take your word for it? ;) Kidding, kidding. But history was never quite my thing (even though I wasn't bad at it) and having had to write an history related essay (modern history, tho) just recently didn't really make me change my mind, lol.
But! Archeology always seemed quite fascinating to me?~
And I went to an icons museum in a monastry once - it was interesting though I was half-dead from tiredness then. XD
