Well, in everything except math.  Math was my weakest subject until grad
school. There I really got into statistics and started getting A's for the
first time in my life in a maths course!

Oh and biology, which I loathed in high school. It was taught by the
baseball coach, who would proceed to write the notes up on the blackboard
and just leave, leaving us to copy the notes.  That was it, no lectures.
The football coach taught the dissection part and I've never been able to
look at frogs again without queasiness or remembering his big, fat beer
belly hanging over the frogs.  What an image.  No wonder I concentrated on
chemistry in college.

Then I went to a free school within a public school, and had to take a science
class so I took marine biology, and computer math, where we learned to punch
cards with a program.
