School was school to me and I don’t think I could say I had any “favourite” subjects, only a couple that I hated the least.
They were English, or in the younger grades Language Arts, and French. I think you typically enjoy the classes that come easier to you and that you tend to get higher marks in.
When I was growing up everyone starts to learn French in Grade Four but once you get to high school, it’s optional. I opted to keep taking French as an elective class once I got to high school because I felt it would be an easy credit. Plus my best friend was also taking it and we would be in the same class.
We had so many laughs in that class at the expense of our sweet and somewhat nerdy friend and classmate Brad. While the rest of us would at least try to fake the French accent if asked to read out loud from the textbook, Brad either didn’t care to feign the accent or maybe thought he really was.
If you imagine a French person saying “bonjour” in it’s proper accent, (I’m not really sure how to spell the way it sounds), but then along comes Brad who says “bawn-jur”. Zilch attempt made to sound French. We thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I didn’t mind geography because it was pretty much straight memorization and I’ve always had a thing for maps and globes. I like to know where places are and still do. If someone mentions the place where they’re from and I don’t know where it is, I immediately go on Google Maps and check it out. I just have to.
Not to creep you guys out my fellow bloggers, but if you’ve ever mentioned where you live or somewhere near it, chances are I’ve looked it up. It’s just this weird compulsion.
