...a girl taking general studies.

I've been taking a-level general studies for two years now and I can honestly say that my general knowledge has not increased in the slightest. Sure, I now know that Ireland use the euro and my whereabouts of Europe are slightly increased but correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that geography? The only thing I've learnt in my two years is that I will never take a subject with all boys in again, never do a fan wall on onlyconnect and my teacher is a little bit sexist. I guess you call that a success?
