What was or is your favorite subject in school? Mine was English and Literature, both in High school and in College. I still love "The Most dangerous Game," "The Pit And The Pendulum," and a lot, but not all, of the poetry that we had to study. Epics like "The Illiad," and "The Odyssey," "Beowulf," all of the tales of knights, heroes, and gods, everyone from Arthur to Zeus. I spent all of my time in high school and college in the school libraries.

The Iliad and The Aeneid were my death in Advanced Latin Poetry. Well, the translations anyway. In Latin, the Aeneid seems much more tolerable, somehow...

BEOWULF!!!!!
I enjoy English sometimes, but sometimes it really bores me because we don't really do anything. I also enjoy Drama, IT and occasionally History.
 
Gym and math. But only in certain grades. Never over the whole school period. School was pretty much a social thing for me, never really cared for class even if some of them were fun. But not in the sense that I had a favourite subject. Hated the german classes for 3 years though, but now I´m glad I kept going. Not that I´m fluent or anything. Avoid speaking it if I have the choice, but it´s nice to understand bits and pieces sometimes.
 
I've always enjoyed English, i love reading and wish i had more time for it, i love poetry as well. so i say that's my favorite subject. i find science classes like chemistry and biology very interesting and enjoy them but i'm never any good at them so i wouldn't call them a favorite. Math i loved and was always good at, till my junior year when i had algebra II, now i pretty much detest it :biggrin:
 
Eniglish. definitely. I even like diagramming.

My major in college is English. I plan on switching to Creative Writing when I switch schools.
 
I loved English, Latin, Maths and Arts; English probably being my favorite of them. In my last two years, also really got into Religious Education and made it one of my finals classes at the last possible moment (didn't care much for that subject before, but simply had the best R.E. teacher, ever, for the last two-and-a-half years of school).

I however despised Social Sciences and, for reasons obvious to anyone who looks at me *cough*, Physical Education.

Latin Karma! o/ I loved Latin on my first college *_*
History. Because it's got everything from drama to action/adventure and is deliciously ambiguous. I like how OUR interpretations of history merely is a reflection of our contemporary world. It's like one big analogy. Entertains me greatly.
 
I don't think I ever had just one favourite subject. It varied between Science (Chemistry and Physics in particular), English (both Literature and Language), French, History and Geography...I guess I just love learning 🙂
 
I would say Maths and Physics.
Too bad I have forgot everything I learned...

My favourites used to be:
English (as in learning the language, since well, Swedish is the language spoken in Sweden)
Drama
History
Swedish (as in creative writing)
All kinds of art I guess...
 
I loved Art and Biology. And for some reason I was a bit of a Geography geek, I dunno, I just found it interesting I guess.:biggrin:

Returned Geography karma :)
French and English Lit. Ironically not Drama. I hated the way Drama was taught in school, but I loved French and Lit.
Learning languages always came easily to me, especially French and I loved the fact that once you learned one language the others all began to fall into place- which is how I ended up taking Spanish and then taking Italian classes later on. Plus, we had this like amazing teacher. She was completely insane- but in a good way- and definitely one of the best teachers I've ever had. She made everything memorable and so easy to learn. Of course, you didn't want to cross her. Ever. So there was always that underlying feeling of fear, haha.

And Literature- another one that came easy to me, but I always enjoyed whatever we were studying. From Dr Faustus to To Kill a Mockingbird. Actually To Kill a Mockingbird became one of my favorite books through that class. A lot of favorites were introduced to me through lessons actually. I mean we mildly discussed The Odyssey when I was in elementary school and that intrigued me so much it led me into a childhood obsession with all those epics and mythology. And when we came across it again in tenth grade I understood it even more, obviously, and since it was my first 'read' of Greek mythology, it's always got a place on my favorite list too. And then when that subject area became exhausted I also added Egyptology to my interests. Haha. But Lit was always really good...my teacher for both my junior and senior year though was so incredibly Gilesy. He was American but he'd been raised in England most of his life and he always wore suits and had this little round glasses and I mean he was slightly more Hugh Grant Bumbly than Giles, but still the resemblence was there. He had a great sense of humor too and the two of us often would try to have the last word in a banter match.

There were other classes I enjoyed- like Film Studies and Art History- but the teachers doing the subject slightly diminished my love for them so they are not up in the Top Two, haha. But I did like those classes a lot. And I do remember one time in film as our teacher ordered us to frolic around the classroom to a Spanish song....weird....
 
I used to love English & Drama they were the two lessons i could never wait to get to, but for some reason i was really good at maths but i didnt really like it that much. Oh well.
 
Hm, let's see...
it's very different. There are some things I very much like, but school kinda screwed that up. English, for example. I enjoy the language, but class sucked. Same with Russian. Same with chem class, German, geography, philosophy, French and art class. The ones that were okay at school were history, PE (loved that; sadly the things I liked the most, like running lapses, other people defined as torture so we hardly ever did them), biology and music.
There were also some subjects I ALWAYS hated. Physics, computer science and politics being those.
 
English, Math, and Latin were my strongest, and I guess they were also my favorites. And it doesn't hurt that I had absolutely wonderful teachers for them.

I LOATHE history though. Seriously.
