I've gotten used to the layout in Sixth Form and know my way around already.
Goals

Use study lessons efficiently.

Cool.

Wait what? Germany wasn't democratic in the late 1800s? That was soon after Bismarck's time, right? Wilhelmine Germany?

Ah ok interesting. I'll come on to nationalism in Wilhelmine Germany by the end of my history A-Level course. I think your period is a million times more interesting. What other modules are you doing?
