Learnt about voting and the use of FPTP (First Past The Post system) which the UK use for voting. Very appropriate as that year I was getting to vote for the very 1st time when I was 18 years old. Visited The Scottish Parliament and spent a week working as a Witch Doctor to The First Minister (Amazing job got to travel to Edinburgh every day for this via a train felt so grown up lol)
Learnt so so much and to this day I'm still interested in politics. I really liked learning about the wars in Bosnia, Kosvo, Ireland (a bit) etc. Now a days the kids get taught about 9/11 etc
Question:
Least favourite subject to learn at school?

Chemistry. I wasn't a fan of the sciences back then, but became more interested as I aged. Once I burned myself during an experiment, which didn't help. Oddly, my first major love is a chemist. I lived with him in Berkeley, CA where he was a graduate student in UC Berkeley's PhD chemistry program.
Do you know where your first love lives today? Or anything about their current life?
