I'm very much with Jebus on this one. If I die without seeing another college history book I'd die a happy man.
How smart are you?

A College History book called "The State and Society of the Byzantine Empire"?
I didn't know there were colleges that devoted credits solely to the history of the Byzantines. That's some freaky colleges you guys have up there, aye.
Not sure we're thinking about the same thing, but if by credits you mean classes and an exam devoted to Byzantium, than, yup, I have those too, it's called "History of southeastern Europe in the middle ages" but it pretty much comes down to Byzantium. I have that exam in two weeks, BTW.
Dude, I wish I had that kind of history. Mine's all dry and mostly theoretic. Y'know - like world-systems, source decoding, paleonthology, scientific archaeology, etc. etc. Only a third of my credits is devoted to *actual* history.
Not that I don't have to cram crazy amounts of dates for those courses too, tho'. Just not as much as I would've liked too. Me wants more Napoleon and Byzantium, less sigillography and prosopography. More Rome and Louis XIV, less 'Defining Civilization' and 'Constraints of effective forms of society'.
Ah ye world, why are ye so cruel. Apparently my university has that whole 'teach them HOW to do stuff instead of just teaching them stuff' thing going. It might have its benefits - but damnit, it's no fun.

Depends on weather or not I am on my medication.
Sadly, that was not a joke.

Ironically, I wouldn't mind at all switching with you right now. I'll have those too, but next year, and the stuff I'm doing right now is starting to annoy me severely.

Some anti-ADHD stuff. I get bored with IQ tests pretty quickly, that was the main reason. Especially when it's around 200 hours of testing (honest to God, it was, though I got a nice IEP out of it), and the tester is a Unitarian woman with 11 adopted Thai children and maybe 8 Cats that she called 'people'.
Anyway, on the anti-ADHD stuff it was around 154, without it was maybe 120.

Well then, let's do so.
I'd like to learn more *history*, instead of all these history-related skillz.
I can put together a 50-title archive list containing the most relevant and trustworthy titles for any history research subject you'll ever find in record speed, tho'.

No, not ritalin, it did not improve my IQ as much as it kept me vaugley interested in a very, very boring process.
200 hours of testing. Well, 200 hours at her house, all of which she was payed for.
I think that answers both 2 and 3?
You got it all figured out, buddy.
Say "no rly" or it didn't happen.

Oh, I get it, it all makes sense now; she drugged you, molested you for two hundred hours, told you she was just testing your IQ. and she got payed for it. You've been pwnd, Johnny.

However, I do not know. I never made a serious IQ-Test, and according to some online tests I'm plain stupid or ingenious (80 - 160).
I made a pretty good Abitur (~British A-levels) with the almost incredible mark of 2.0 and I study biology, so I can not be THAT stupid.
But I always failed to learn another foreign language.

Xenophobia is good for you.
And I believe you are very stupid because you study biology. I hate it. I hate it as much as I hate McFly, and Yankistan.

You can study, yes.
It's best to "bone up", as it were, for tests by practicing difficult mathematics and... I don't know, reading a dictionary or something.
