Questions.

Well it's a bit dark so I can't tell Dry I suppose, in so much as I haven't heard it raining, but probably quite cold.


Are you good at maths?

I'm rusty. I always got excellent scores on math and math reasoning standardized tests when I was in school.

Did you take any higher math courses?

I did it at a-level but only got a C. I've probably forgotten most of it now, it is more of a case that I like solving problems, not specifical formulae, just the problem. I always used to get told off at school for skipping straight to the answer without showing my working because I just did it all in my head.


Do you think 'they' should teach more practical things in maths, such as taxes and mortgages and whatever financial stuff, not fancy equations that never apply to real life?

Absolutely.

Did you like chemistry (if you took it)?

Well we just did science and then different modules which would cover chemistry, physics and biology. I suppose the chemistry were my least favourite because they were boring, and except for those who wish to have a career related to it I don't think I need to know how many molecules of whatever are in any specific metal or blah blah blah. Physics was alright because it was mostly messing about with little experiments, and it was interesting and somewhat practical to real life, same for biology. So the answer to your question is no


What was your favourite subject at school?

Oh, I LOVED chemistry even though I didn't go into a chemistry related field. My favorites in high school were Creative Writing & Advanced Chemistry (and I'm not saying advanced to be a twat, it was a much different class than first year chem). My favorites in college were Philosophy, Theories of Personality, and my psychological testing classes.

Worst class you EVER took?

I hated having to study religion, and if I felt how I do now about it I'd have gotten myself excused from it I think. Wasn't a big fan of music either, but only because all we ever did was play basic, crap little pieces on keyboards.


If you could go back to when you were at school/college would you have made any different choices as to what you studied?

I think I would have gone ahead and gotten a Ph.D. instead of getting out and working. On the other hand, the reason I didn't move hundreds of miles away to go to college was because I didn't want to be away from my sick relatives and I would definitely have had to have moved further away to get a Ph. D. since the only university to offer a Ph.D. program in the Jackson area is Jackson State and I wouldn't go there for love nor money. So, I don't know. I think if I'd known I was going to wind up with the school system I would have taken teaching classes as an undergrad instead of psych classes. I do wish I'd made some different choices.

Have you ever dropped a class?

Well sort of, but not exactly a class. I started to study architecture but part-way through the 2nd semester I dropped it because I wasn't enjoying it and couldn't see myself going any further with it.


If you could just instantly be good at something what would it be? (like click your fingers and you magically know it all)

If I could snap my fingers and have all the education necessary to be a psychiatrist, that would be pretty cool (psychology + M.D.).

Have you ever had any desire to be a doctor?
