P.E.

All the running, the jumping, the making movements no sane person would ever make during an average day and the seemingly infinite supply of fat kids doing jumping jacks made the class a living hell.

I wasn't brilliant at Maths. I never liked it and I'm happy that I never have to do a maths lesson again :D

Why is literature not on this poll? Am I the only one who completely BSed everything in literature? Symbolsm and all other gimmicks like that go completely over my head.

I chose PE because I just can't run around like a moron and act like I'm doing something useful >.> its bizarre and unnatural.

Math was certainly challenging at times, but I really enjoy that. School, in general, was a peice of cake for me.

*edit* on second thought maybe literature is considered English? In that case I should have chosen that one I suppose.. but English grammar is one of my favorite things of all time so I don't think that would be quite accurate.

History was hard for me because I see it as the polar opposite of mathematics. There is absolutely no structure in it and no fun for me in it. I have a different language in my country than English, but I struggle in that subject (my language, not English). But I do really enjoy chapters of Physics that deal with molecules and atoms. They are my favourite things. I want to become an astronaut or a spaceship or aeroplane builder when I get a job.

A novel topic

Literature and novel study, followed by PE. :evil: :x

The other courses I could analyze, and figure out myself.

Contrary to popular belief, i could do social studies without socializing. :P

PE. I'm not remotely dyspraxic, I'm actually fairly agile, but trying to keep track of lots of people's rapid movements scrambled the living crap out of me. And it didn't help that I'd never done most of those sports before (I was home schooled).


Exactly. I have quite good coordination on my own, but I was the youngest kid in the class and absolutely suck at ball games because I can't coordinate my own body, keep track of the ball, keep track of x own team members and y members of the opposite team and at the same time still remember the game rules - and all we ever did was ball games, because P.E. was supposed to be fun for the kids at the time when I went to school.

I also didn't do too well in music. For all other subjects it depended on the teacher.

I assumed social studies is what we in my country call community subject which includes things like politics, the UN and cultural differences and similarities. ?

Yeah, symbolism makes no sense to me either.
Teacher: "What does the author really say here?"
Me: "????????????"
I never go looking for hidden meanings, nor am I convinced that the authors had any. I certainly don't have any hidden meaning in anything I write, and I take what I read at face value. Literature equals yawn and confusion.



I forgot to mention technical drawing which I didn't get at all. (Or simply drawing for that matter. I can't draw something realistic looking. I'm no better now than when I was a little kid.) One of the high schools I quit put me through technical drawing. I had a book full of examples I was to copy. In the 2-3 months I went to that school I didn't get past drawing number 1.
