So it seems that I'm Intelligent

Or at least that's what everyone else likes to tell me. I mean, I get good marks in my classes and can help people to understand things they don't quite have a grasp on, and for the most part I understand what my profs are trying to get across in their classes.


Though I've gotta say, I don't really take that to mean that I'm smart. Yeah I'm getting things right, but it's pretty much just pure logic and the application thereof. I think my remarkably capacity for storing knowledge of any type, be it useful or highly trivial, has something to do with it, plus I can just picture what I need to use in my head a lot of the time. Like the Chain Rule, which is vital in Calculus. So what if I got 95% on my last test, that doesn't make me smart, that just means I'm good at remembering stuff.

Speaking of which, memories are a funny thing, and can pop up when you least expect them/don't want them to. Darn you remarkably storage capacity of mine! DARN YOU!

...Not really, though if it's not a pleasant memory they're not really enjoyable experiences to remember.

But yeah, School's goin' great, I be smart-like, and I'm apparently the cream of the crop. So much so that there's a point during most of my calculus lectures where my Prof just refuses to accept my answers and says stuff like "Someone other than Cam, he's been doing all the heavy lifting today and he's really tired" (which, frankly, makes me seem somewhat overly competent but I thoroughly enjoy nonetheless.

Also: Oh crap, Tiddo's (mi padre, his name's actually Todd...long story) Birthday tomorrow and I totally haven't found him anything yet...though I doubt the majority of my family ever expects anything from me for birthdays anymore, I'm prone to not get them stuff...gifts just aren't my forté and/or love language.

On that note: My love languages ARE Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Which is why I don't touch people who I don't know (and don't enjoy being touched by people I don't know), but am more than willing to help people with any problems they have and thrive in the scenarios where I'm explaining things or helping people to make sense of what we've covered.

But yeah, school's going great. Though I totally boffed one of the questions on my chem test today, I think I can figure it out though if I had the numbers again. And had I the time, I probably would have, I just didn't have a chance 'cause the bus that would have gotten me there on time didn't show up so I was late for it (but I still finished before class was over, yay for being good at taking tests.)

...I'm mostly just saying this 'cause I was apparently unnecessarily nervous about the Calculus test I took on Wednesday. Yeah, 95%, I win. Woooooo!

Mkay, 'nuff of me bragging, time to head off to stuff and things.

Cheers,
~Cam
