      Ha ha ha, not studying the subjects I didn’t like: geography and history in particular. I don’t have a good memory – you could even say I don’t remember anything at all – so those subjects were really hard for me with all those names of rivers, mountains and dates and battles and I always did really badly in tests. At one point the headmaster had “words” with me and to make sure I studied everything, I had to see him every Friday with all my school books so that he could see what marks I’d got. Anyway, I dropped geography and history as soon as I could and that was the end of my troubles.
