Are you talking about high school?

Favorite subjects where electives and physics.

Least favorite was everything else.


Now, if I was to talk about college, then it would be:

Favorite: Any advanced math, but lowly trig above all -- I love math and while trig is basically pre-pre calculus, it can be just as flexible; microbiology -- this stuff is just awesome; oceanography -- I love everything that has to do with the ocean (except the taste) and the lab section was fun and interesting; death and dying -- this course was not as morbid as it sounds. In fact, it is definitely the most upbeat and positive course that I will probably ever take. It really changed my perspective on what it means to 'live life'; astronomy -- this was just a basic survey course, but it was still totally awesome; sea time -- going out on a boat, conducting research, need I say more?

Least favorite: none really. While there are some courses that you just have to take for your major, the beauty of college is that you can usually work around this and find a course that not only interests you but that also fulfills a requirement. Besides, college is what you make of it. It seems to me that those who whine and gripe about this course or that teacher are the same ones who moan about being stuck behind a red light. You pay for college, you might as well get your money's worth.

I was referring to favorites/dislikes in at any level. You sound like you're one of those really science-y minded people. Wish I was like that.

And..since you love math...wanna do my homework???
