Yeah see, that's how I always felt about math. I loved it so much that it was always easy for me and didn't have to work. I didn't have a natural affinity to history and ended up just hating it. But learning history on my own is so fun because I get to control what content I learn...I learn about the history of things that actually interest me, and I don't start by thinking, "hmm I should really memorize these names and dates because that's what history's all about".
