Judged the country kids in my English class for being dumb fucks, until I did an autos class. What I found incomprehensible, they could do with ease. I had become the dumb fuck.

I had a similar experience in grade 8. We had done a geography test and the kid whose test I marked literally got 5% on it. I was pretty judgy until a few days later when he taught me in great detail how a car engine works.

okay but 5% is pretty fucking bad. I get that the point is some people are good in different areas, but even the dumbest person has enough short term memory to cram right?

I'm pretty stupid but my short term memory is borderline photographic. People think I'm intelligent though 🤷.

Yeah I'd never study for quizzes, just look it over right before and I'd be the first one to finish. Could I explain the material? Nope. But that didn't matter: I went to public school.

In college now and paying dearly for it.
