whoever scheduled european history (favorite subject, only history class offered beyond the basic required curriculum) and the fourth (and final, and very important!) year of my drafting class for only one class period each at the same time needs to die. my heart is divided in two and every time my drafting teacher lectures me about the quality of my air conditioning plans i daydream of charts of monarchies.

#at least i have perhaps the most propaganized classes known to man: economics and compartive government #i love both of them dgmr but economics is maddening #so much abject suffering positioned as acceptable and necessary loss to keep the almighty System running #and compartive kind of looks at it from the perspective of american democracy is great let's hold everything 2 that standard #and mostly that just means evaulating economic wellbeing based on gdp/capita & gini coeff #or looking at fucking. IMF and world bank statistics lmfao. and freedom index my beloathed #but a lot of it is just how much democracy does this country have #and if answer is little then country is bad #which i feel is sort of overly simplified n the china chapter especially i thought we kind of overlooked the mass line stuff #wouldn't that be the key to all of it? but whatever #iran too i wish we had dug into history more there #felt like we spent most of it just figuring out where the power is n how each branch works #i'm personally more interested in how the govt ended up as it is today vs maybe what people wanted idk #but i digress.#euro history isnt my favorite btw history in general is but they only added African and Asian history classes to ap curriculum like #last year. and ap euro year b4 that #so my options r limited. doubt we'll find teacher 4 african and asian history either #we don't even teach french 😭
