Loim Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Best subject was Science or Literature. I loved, and still do, science. Not great at the maths. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have a favourite subject though, I found high school incredibly boring. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best was probably music, which was probably also my favourite - at least through junior high anyways. Why best? When you can fool a provincial examiner TWICE thinking various things and doing double takes... Grade 8, we only had four timpani drums, but the examiner said on tape several times he had to keep looking over at my section because he SWORE that the music we were playing needed five. Well, it did. Most recommended five, because of how much was going on in the piece. Since we had four, I spent hours upon hours training myself to not only be able to tune them on the fly, but to get it right, pretty much bang on every time. Grade 9, we had a rather complicated piece we were using for the competition, and I'd switched to the Oboe. Not wanting to be the one holding the group back, I trained and practiced various things for 3-6 hours every single day in order to not only get better, but to be able to make some of the more difficult note change movements without issue. Come exam time, the examiner had to keep checking his notes, because he swore I had easily 3-5 years of experience, and not 6-7 months... My favourite was electronics class though, because of various things but I'm going to give the "blame" for such to the teacher for being so massively epic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only subject where I decompressed and enjoyed the time was Art. Didn’t really have Art as an option every school year though. I pretty much hated school. (K-12) I didn’t really have a “Best” subject, I got A’s or B’s in everything. If it involved: books, being indoors, taking tests, figuring out answers, or remembering facts it was fine. But I detested being there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually they gave up. It was hard to argue when I was getting 90% or better on all the tests & quizzes. *shrug* 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheer number of hours I spent in detention and isolation because I never did mine. Weirdly I can't ever remember getting detention or anything like that for it. I just got a zero grade. I was a hard kid to punish. Take away my video games? Okay, I'll read. I was very go with the flow, and it made life at least a little difficult for my parents and teachers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted October 10, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2019 Biology and English I was originally on the path to be a Genetic Engineer, but switched majors to Tech. Com. with a concentration in linguistics due to my absolute inability to remember how to do algebra for more than a few weeks. I still love biology and spend a lot of time studying the natural world. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
