I have a problem. I'm smart.

You know the lightbulb on the head of a cartoon character when they have a great idea? Well, mine's more like a floodlight. Yes, I'm that bright. You don't believe me?

For the record, I was doing 4th year university assignments for friends while I wasn't even in school. Even in highschool, I was doing uni. assignments for cash. Now you tell me, how messed up is that?!

Ah, but it gets better. I've also cramped in a whole text book in 2 nights, and came out with a B. That's not bad is it? It's not an A, but I did I mention that I slept half the time I was studying? Not enough?

How about grade 11 English, we were to write a creative story about anything we wanted. I didn't write one word. The teacher picked me to read what I wrote. So I picked up a piece of paper that had writing on it, and "read" my story. In effect, I made up the story as I spoke. How's that for cajones?? Still more?

I've conned my own brother into thinking that I am smart, when in actual fact he's the gifted one in the family. And that's not a figure of speech ladies and gents, he's certified smart. His IQ score proves it. If he of all people, think I'm bright. Then I gotta be, right? Top that!

But it's also my downfall. You see, I depend on my smarts too much. I think that I can understand anything within 5 minutes, and if I don't, I simply shrug my shoulders and give up. I figure if I can't get it, I don't see how Einstein could have either. So blah! C'mon, if the great LoSir can't decipher the meaning of something, there's really no use for that kind of stuff. Sure, it's great to prove that 1 photon bouncing off a mirrors vs another travelling in a straight line will arrive at the same time, which in theory faster than light travel is possible. But we really don't need quantum physics do we? It's not like we need that to make beer, do we?? Right. Didn't think so.

All kidding aside, I have to learn to be more patient whenever I learn anything new, and not just rely on the fact I'm not a complete idiot. I also have to respect that there are way too many people out there who are smarter than I ever will be, so I can be humble enough to be taught. I'm getting older, and my learning curve has plummetted to the levels of plankton and one celled creatures. *sigh*

I know I'm not really smart, I just like to think that I am. Please don't blame me, I've had an easy life.... that's my excuse.

....although quite frankly, I'm not as sheltered as I seem. Trust me. If we're comparing lives, I've had it plenty rough.
