history p2 is history

So today was my History Paper 2 (which incidentally, happened before Paper 1). I think I did okay. I've seen the standard of essays that some RJ kids have, and mine were definitely not up to those in terms of factual material and length, but I should think I measured up alright in terms of analysis. I'm a little bit disappointed that I didn't do everything I think I could have, but that's how I always feel after every single essay- I think it comes naturally for perfectionist writers.

I think I did fairly well. It was immensely liberating to chuck all my SEA history notes and work into the trash right before the paper. I know what some of you are thinking- "how on earth could you do that?! Two years of effort, memories, information..."

Honestly though I don't think it's that big a deal. Factual information is so freely available these days. I much rather start everything again on a clean slate. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off for more overpriced coffee, fun companionship and mathematical masochism. <3
