I will try to remember to fill you in on things like dates and Peter III as Elisabeth's successor, things you will get when prompted but not necessarily on your own. I may not always be quite sure which instances those are, but I will try, because honestly, the best way to learn is not from forced memorization, but from encountering the same information in multiple contexts, through repetition.
Personal tangent:, I finally recently realized how much of my success in school, though definitely aided by having a good memory, came from studying the material on my own, outside the assigned lesson plans, because I got the repetition when the other students were having to rely on forced memorization. Ugh, why is our pedagogical system so bad? (I have actual thoughts on this for my blog, and for trying to re-master Latin and Greek more efficiently this time, which will all have to wait.)
