What I Wish I Had Done Differently in School

I wish I had stayed in school and got more help with the subjects I was having most difficulty with , which would have been all of them :/ Particularly Biology . I didn't even take chemistry or physics nor calculus in high school just basic science and basic math. My grades weren't something I admired.

I probably would have become a pharmacist if I could. I like pills and potions but it would have been a lot different if it didn't involve taking them personally *sigh*. Instead I consented to ingesting drug after drug like a guinea pig in a lab. Like once I took some largactil (Chlorpromazine), in the hospital under the doctors care and I thought I was going to choke to death.

FYI sometimes I like revising my plinky answers , cause I can

Tearjerker Books

I hate this because I have never read a book that made me cry . I need to read one. It was pretty frustrating growing up because I was very slow at comprehending what I read and it discouraged me from reading books. I must say archie comics is what first sparked my interest in the english language; it's how I learnt to read english ; so I cannot give school the credit for that.

Lucky for me , I think I have overcome my comprehension disability and I can pretty much decipher what the hell I'm reading now. I don't know about school books because if you don't understand something you probably wouldn't know what you are reading to begin with .

Anyway I still have to concentrate by re-reading paragraphs and sentences over: some of us aren't born genius; and it's funny because I was a very good reader just unable to comprehend what I was reading and I could spell 100% correctly .

Having an audience made it all worthwhile and I started to like reading again . I use to read bedtime stories to my kids and I loved Robert Munsch but I don't remember ever reading anything that brought me to tears . I hear the boy in the striped pyjamas is a tearjerker though.

Study Hard

Study Hall Trash Can 2
I never liked school, but I would like to take some computer course or perhaps something more along the lines of me getting a job working in a pharmacy . I don't even have grade 12 but having gone to an English boarding school in Spain, it taught me to study hard . I can remember our house parents use to always say "Study Hall Time!" We had study hall for 3 hours in the evening .
