...when people base their favorite subjects on whether or not they're doing well in the class. I was just talking to one of my friends who hates history, but since she's doing well this year, now she suddenly loves it. Like, I get it to a point, because if I wouldn't mind history if the class was easy, but it wouldn't mean that history was my favorite subject, even if that was the class I was doing the best in.
I mean, I loved physics as a subject last year, but absolutely hated the class and stressed SO much over it... And I've always disliked all history except US history. Loved bio as a class, but not so much as a subject (not to say that I disliked the subject, just that I didn't have any passion for it), which is holding true this year as well. Chem I loved both as a subject and class, and while it's absolutely screwing me over right now, I still like the subject. Math I've always loved even if I didn't get all the formulas and crap, if only because it's just so logical. I'm pretty sure that's WHY I do well in my math classes. English was always just... there. It depended on what we were doing; I loved poetry and persuasive essays, but not so much responses to literature.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should learn to be good at something you love, not love something you're good at. But I don't know, maybe I'm just weird. Just something interesting that came up in a conversation today. xP

Oh yeah, funny story from Chinese school. So my teacher (who happens to be Mrs. Shuen - yes, the one from DVHS), was talking about different terms to say who won/lost something in the same phrase, and as a demo, she was like, "So if Erica and Ryan got in a fight, who would win?" And Michael just replies, "Erica. Definitely." And is seconded by Michelle, and Daniel I think. Then she switches to me and Michael, and apparently I would still win, which is ridiculous, considering Michael actually does martial arts. So yeah, just sort of interesting. xD
