As for the high school stuff: My GPA on the 1-4 scale was usually around 2.5ish, but there were a few quarters I got in the 3+ range. My PE teachers didn't have us do written stuff as far as I remember. I took biology in 9th grade, physics in 10th, chemistry in 11th, and did fairly well in all of them as far as learning things went. As far as actual grades I was mediocre due to despising homework, but almost every single test I aced. Owing more to the teachers than anything else I enjoyed biology and chemistry the most since those teachers were fun whereas my physics teacher was essentially Fred Flintstone. I'm not joking, my physics teacher could easily pass as Fred. Coincidentally he also taught geology.
Let's see, I also had two years of multimedia, one year of graphics design, one and a half years of auto mechanics (I say half because I didn't learn or do a damn thing the last half year), one year of wood shop, two years of Japanese, a year and a half of judo, half a year of stage crew... And I'd need to look at my transcripts to see what other stuff I took besides the usual English, math, history, etc. I failed English a few terms because I have rather large problems doing essays when I don't give a damn about the subject or don't feel I know enough to write anything about.
