What was your favourite course in high school. I liked biology in grade nine. Next was physics in [View all]

grade 10. I completely lost my way in the latter half of highschool. I should have stuck with the sciences. But I ended up with a degree in economics which fits in well with my love of politics. Though i am losing some of my eco knowledge. Since i can't bring myself to read the economist regularly these days, I bought an economics booked geared towards politicians and those who need a quick and dirty exploration of the subject. It looks good.
