It just isn't for me

History, it doesn't excite me. I like researching people groups (like ancient near eastern Jews), but History as a movement just doesn't excite me.

I never enjoyed American History (it's the only class i've ever failed), and haven't been able to put the focus into Church History either. I just don't get fascinated by dates and names, even if they are of movements (like the church) that I deeply care about.

I just can't get my mind to be interested in learning things about the past that seem of little value to me.

I'd rather be writing a research paper on a particular person from history (the research for such a project would be compelling to me) than listening to someone describe how someone's political structure influenced the next political structure, which caused some ruler to be a jerk, which paved the way for some person to be a hero.

Uggghhhhhh.... History frustrates me.
