| My U.S History class is a celebration of American obscurity. And I'm blowing through it easily, and it's a college level course. I haven't opened the textbook once and I can answer every single question easily, I'm actually one of the few people that can sleep through that class and absolutely demolish the tests.
Anyway, do you have a particularly subject that you're very good at? | |

Everything. I am also very good at every class, except for a few cases (F'kin Stoichiometry, thank God that's over). I'm just a procrastinator, and that bites me in the arse later on. Like now, I should be writing a book analysis, but I'm not. But still, f'kin stoichiometry. | |

| All sorts of sciences (minus biology/anatomy)... Math, Philosophy, some psychology, Fitness and Exercise, and surprisingly economics (tho I hate it with a passion), also computer sciences.
Not so good with: - Biology/Anatomy - English/Literature - History | |

Not so good with: - Biology/Anatomy - English/Literature - History I have learned that Literature just requires obscene amounts of bullshitting, nothing else is really needed. I easily get 100%'s on Essays just by BS'ing the hell out of them. | |

I must design (flowchart) two (small) games (they don't have to be video game) before 11:59pm EST this up-and-coming Sunday for my Game Design 1 class. And, I've yet to start. Meaning... I'm also a procrastinator.

The history classes at my School, except my Post WWII history class, have been terrible. I mean, in Modern American (1932-1972, I think) we didn't even talk about Korea, and skipped over two incredibly important battles during WWII (Market Garden & Battle of the Bulge), along with skipping over the entire Italian Campaign and North Africa, and the Pacific Front; minus of course Iwo Jima. | |

But from my point of view, all the battles schools talk about during WWII have been explained many times before, so we should be talking about unheard of battles, that where extremely important. | |

Especially Omaha beach. But not everybody. It also depends, I have several friends that don't care about history, but I know Roman, Greek, Nordic history, to name a few. I'm the only one that can name at least 5 greek gods.(I can name up to 20 without trouble, but I think that my classmates can only namer 3, let alone 5) | |

Zeus. Hera Hermes Hades Poseidon Aphrodite Artemis Dionysus Apollo Helios Athena Ares Demeter Prometheus? (not sure about him) I could name more if Titans and Pre-Pantheon Gods are allowed. | |
