Chemistry

Good memory to learn equations

Loud and cheerful people (most people in my classes are quite outgoing)

Read labels behind bottles and anything really and feel clever when they know a chemical from its formula and show off infront of people

Ask their friends if they know the formula of X I.e if a friend mentions some type of acid lets say nitric acid they are gonna say do you know the formula of this and when friend gets it wrong feel proud of themselves for knowing it

Cant really think of anything else bt yeah intelligent people !

same but I've seen enough to know :tongue:

it's the monolinguals using their evil magic to remove our skills
I'm not at uni yet but in my sixth form:
Further maths class:
- full of smart, nerdy people, some are actually quite social as well
-good class banter and hardly any work is ever done
Physics:
- more nerdy than the further maths class but not as smart.
- tend to be more boring than the maths lads
Economics:
- not nerdy at all but some people are really smart
- love talking about current affairs
- so much banter
- but hardworking as well
-half the class totally enjoys the subject and understands everything; the other half have no idea what they're doing and don't care
