Math and foreign language. I loved them for the same reason — symbols and the rules to combine the symbols that made them mean something beyond bigger than the individual symbols on their own. No one ever understands what I mean by that. It’s like the whole world can be broken down into its most basic parts and then there are laws by which those parts can be combined — and so long as you memorize the individual parts and abide by the laws, you can express anything the human mind can imagine. It’s amazing to me.
