Nope, went to public school. I can draw that S thing though, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Even I learned how to do that, despite the fact that you think I'm a homeschooled tard.

It's okay, you were homeschooled <3.

I was taught Latin, can't say that I learned much Latin.

No, but I took German

I learned that adult teachers are dysfunctional idiots.

Yes, but it's not really taught for you to be able to speak it.

Yup! Semper ubi sub ubi.

Didn't even have the option... They only offered three language courses: German, French, and Spanish (I took and passed all three, which was a big deal, for some reason).

No, it was an option but I'm terrible at languages and the rules were you hate to do one modern language so I could afford to do 2 subjects I'd likely get bad marks for. Otherwise I would have taken it.

Latin hasnt been a subject in school since the early 70's

Depends if you went to a decent school or not.

Well: The school i graduated places quite the emphasis on it.

Seeing all my colleagues are either lawyers or M.D.s when i'm into chemistry (given: as a quite poor kid) tells quite a story, why they clinge to this.

Let's be honest: I'm better even in lets say math, than most. This partly but not only is the heritage of the school i went to.

This surely isn't a coincidence. I am only into cohomology theory right now -alone this- tells a lot.

It surely is more nurture than nature. I was a geek and i will stay one. Because i had three friends back then. We all were into "off-topic" stuff.

One is an electrical engineer, on graduated in physics, one is an architect. And there is me. With a minor in math and a major in chemistry. This cleary is a tell.

I did Latin-homework in Greek lessons and vice versa. And till today i can write with both hands. Not because i'm a genius but because i trained this excessivly in these times.

M.D.s

I have a particular problem with that. All these retards getting their diplomas because their parents paid the school big bucks is fucking up medicine.

My diploma with ULC is looking hot. Dr. Muskrat

[–]forscher[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah. I can feel that. Most of them are idiots. Even one of my best pals from these times now is.

Sure: He studied electrical engineering (which has its hurricanes: trust me) but is actual job now mainly is to stay sober.

Actual electricians do all the work (installing wind machines, combined small power/heat engines and whatnot) and he drives there (when he even happens to be sober) and puts his underwriting on this without even checking.

And for this bs he makes more than me. Life literally is ironic.
