Hated gym as well and the wrestling coach kept wanting me to get into wrestling because he couldn't pin me when the gym class did wrestling. I thank God I only had to take gym in 9th grade.

Didn't take any Art classes because my mom's cousin was the senior art professor at OU and an accomplish modern art painter. He told me when I was young to not take any classes, instead just get some paints and have fun and see what I could do with them. That way I would develop my own style and that's what makes you a marketable artist.

Instead of taking stuff like drafting, auto shop, metal working or wood working I did electronics.

Some friends and I took Geometry in summer school because we found out you had time to do all theorems and proofs in class and wouldn't have any homework. That got us in Calculus while still in HS. We were a bunch of nerds for sure. Remember in that summer school group was when we all got our programmable calculators cause there was the big war over TI with standard notation vs HP with reverse polar notation and which was faster and easier to program. It was also where I bumped into the little girl next door I used to play doctor with that had moved away and had just moved back.
