Well maybe it just furthers a stereotype! Boys are better at certain things than girls. I'm all for equality, but I had great teachers at school, and I still sucked at them (Maths and Science that is!)!
I'm good with languages though :) I noticed your at Uni in Scotland. What subject you majoring in?
I'm studying law with a Uni in the North of England part-time.
hehe, yeah, i find maths very boring, but i love other sciences! i started uni doing astrophysics, but changed to theology. quite the opposites, i know, lol. what language(s) do you speak other than english? i don't remember if my profile says it, but i'm italian, so i'm also all for languages, haha :D
other languages...almost2innocentMarch 12 2010, 13:59:06 UTC
I speak Thai and German. My family are Arab, but I don't speak any Arabic though :( I'll be studying Chinese in Asia soon. I'm leaving England on March 23. I will still be studying my Law degree though. I have no idea what I want to do with it though!
I studied theology/religious studies for a year at college, but didn't keep it up. It was interesting though.

ooh, that sounds very cool! will your course be in taught in chinese? i plan on doing a postgrad degree in israel so i can learn modern hebrew :D i only speak dead languages now, thanks to classics school (latin and ancient greek) but language courses in a foreign country are pretty much as awesome as a thing can be! are you excited about leaving? i was freaking out when i came to live in scotland, hah :P
i really like theology... it's very interesting, and can be applied to pretty much everything in the world! i am (or try to be) a good jewish boy though, which makes the whole 'studying theology at a christian university' much more interesting :P

Well Shalom brother :) I have Jewish family on my fathers side, which doesn't make me Jewish under Jewish Law, but I do consider myself somewhat Jewish. I think it's a beautiful faith. I wanted to convert for years, but I guess I haven't met the right mensch, lol. Are you dating anyone at the moment?
I am looking forward to going back to Thailand. I lived there for four years, and I have lots of friends there. The course will be taught at a Chinese language school in Bangkok, so it should be really cool.
Re: other languages...savethewabbitMarch 12 2010, 15:53:02 UTC
shalom! :D the jewish faith is indeed beautiful. and it has a certain appeal to a 'scientifically minded' person like me, because it has an answer and an explanation for *everything*. if you've got a doubt, surely a rabbi has talked about it before! i am not dating anybody... i'm one of those paranoid trans people who don't let anybody touch them etc, heh :) i will finally get top surgery in 9 days though, so i plan on starting to take a look around afterwards :P
wow, i kind of envy you. i wish i could travel that far away, and for so long! thailand sounds like a gorgeous place!

I love the idea of a community rabbi. It seems so family orientated and protective. And you are right. If there is a question you want answers to... chances are a rabbi has answered it
