Memes - I am:

[jack]

According to internet tests:

I am: Tungsten.
I am: 24 years old.
I nitpick: 8th grade maths tests

Tungsten has a cool symbol ("W"). 24 is fairly close. But can I stay 23/24 please? And I did make a couple of errors on the maths test, first by working out 5x6 and forgetting which was in the question and which was the answer, and secondly, by forgetting all my GRF and not thinking -7 could be prime (though in context that would not be the correct answer).

It's nearly me in reverse: I didn't do any arts subjects, so now am picking up grammar, linguistics, philosophy, etc in dribs and drabs here and there. I don't exactly regret, because I wouldn't have got any benefit from them *then* but it would be nice if I had been less polarised.

*shrug* There's no point second guessing. We can pick these things up.

It is a shame we have to polarise. I remember a conversation during sixth form with a friend who went on to do biochemistry in the other place where we comment we could quite easily have done the others' subjects (with French for Spanish as she'd gone that way for GCSE). I think she did Biology Chemistry and Maths and Geology (or three of those four; did she do Maths?). Oddly of the three from my school (as opposed to sixth form college) who applied to Oxbridge she was the one who got in. I always suspected that this was not what the teachers would have predicted.
