Why is this Intro Class So Difficult?

I had my 2nd Intro to Japan Test today, and I ask myself, why is this Intro class so hard? Just to give you a small sample of the craziness, I will post a list.

1. Ashikaga Takauji (1305–1358) (r. 1338–1358)
2. Ashikaga Yoshiakira (1330–1368) (r. 1359–1368)
3. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358–1408) (r. 1368–1394)
4. Ashikaga Yoshimochi (1386–1428) (r. 1395–1423)
5. Ashikaga Yoshikazu (1407–1425) (r. 1423–1425)
6. Ashikaga Yoshinori (1394–1441) (r. 1429–1441)
7. Ashikaga Yoshikatsu (1434–1443) (r. 1442–1443)
8. Ashikaga Yoshimasa (1436–1490) (r. 1449–1473)
9. Ashikaga Yoshihisa (1465–1489) (r. 1474–1489)
10. Ashikaga Yoshitane (1466–1523) (r. 1490–1493, 1508–1521)
11. Ashikaga Yoshizumi (1480–1511) (r. 1495–1508)
12. Ashikaga Yoshiharu (1510–1550) (r. 1522–1547)
13. Ashikaga Yoshiteru (1536–1565) (r. 1547–1565)
14. Ashikaga Yoshihide (1540–1568) (r. 1568)
15. Ashikaga Yoshiaki (1537–1597) (r. 1568–1573)

So this Ashikaga family decides to start ALL of their mens' names with Yoshi (except the first). Granted, we only have to know a couple, but still. Also, I can't write. I know a lot of you read my article and were like "Whoa!" etc etc.

Let me spill a bit of truth. Writing is not my forte. That paper was published after some semi-extensive editing. Indeed, my writing incabaility can be seen through this post, which lacks any real style.

So while we're still on the subject of forte(s) and while I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back for my doctor's appointment (laptops rule!), let's talk about what I am good at.

I think I can teach well. And I think I can write prescriptions. And I think I can cure people. That's about it.

So now, I'm almost certain that Intro test pwned me. Ah well. I hope everyone else is doing better.

Yesterday, we (me and my physics group) came to a conclusion that Crawford (the author of the physics book) was definitely a homosexual for suggesting that we should all go out and buy slinkies to test wave theory. A suitable conclusion, perhaps we're all in denial because it's impossible to understand.

Well, I only have about 35 seconds left, so I probably shouldn't start anything new
-PRA, after going from Maxwell's equations to proving the bending of light in a medium and the angular relationship in 5 minutes.

Actually, I lied. I can't do well not because the names are hard, it's because of general incompetence. Isn't that how it goes?

Leave me nice comments, if you wish. I'm going to go cough a lung out.
