At our school we don't pick 'subjects' we pick 'courses' ie Text to Performance English 7, The World of Fashion...we fill up our lines with mandatory subjects and the left over lines are devoted to electives...
I've done 3 drama courses Intro to Drama, Theatrestyles, Text to Performance
and 1 history elective Mysteries, Myths, Monsters and Mummies. Currently I'm doing Creative Writing (English duh!) and Conflict and Terror (history).
All my electives have been fun except perhapds for Mysteries, Myths, Monsters and Mummies, we had a really bitchy student teacher and saying the course name was annoying....so we all called it Mysteries.... and looked like arseholes
