      That’s got to be geography – I had the most amazing, passionate teacher who would go off on the most crazy tangents, he would start the lesson wanting to teach us about demographics and we’d spend the whole lesson talking about aliens or something. He loved nature and science so much, it was totally contagious, although I was always fascinated by things like that. I just found it so easy because I enjoyed it so much, and I owe him thanks for pushing me in the right direction!

      My favourites in school were Chemistry and French. Chemistry because I had a good teacher, and also I liked all the practical experiements. French I really loved too, I had a great teacher, and I didn’t find it as hard as chemistry was! Although I did chemistry at university and I now work as a chemist, I still do French lessons in the evening and I like to go there on holiday to practice. So I’m lucky because I can still do my two favourite subjects!

      Hmm, I don’t know if I had a specific favourite lesson, but I always enjoyed working with my hands so I liked Crafts. Other than that I did enjoy chemistry, but mainly because we got to do these cool tests when things would change color and stuff. 🙂

      My fav lesson in school was not science believe it or not.. my science teachers used to say ‘You will never be in astronomy you’re not clever enough!’ – Yes they really said that!
      So my fav lesson then was probably art or english, something where I was able to be creative.

      Now days though I can look back on what my science teachers said laugh 🙂 I showed then! hehe
