I'm not as smart as I thought...

Highschool, now highschool was easy... all it took to get an A was a little bit of work and a lot of being awesome so that the teacher loved you. College, is a different story. Even if I wanted to show the teacher how awesome I am it would be next to impossible since there are hundreds of other students in my class, and since I am never on time to anything in my life i sneak in and sit in the very back every single day. 
College has taught me one thing so far: I am not as smart as I thought I was in highschool. I dont do all that well, and I am not good at focusing on things that do not interest me. Like Biology. Especially when you have a hairy dwarf for a teacher that says essentially at least 20 times a class period and is just happy to be teaching because he isnt even a real teacher. You know those students that get to teach a class sometimes? Yeah, that's him. And he takes it way overboard. Last class for example: We needed to measure the curve on some weird seeds...then throw them off a balcony and see how long till they hit the ground. Simple, right? Dont worry, he took 35 minutes explaining how to do that. Basically, he is a joke. And it's only a 1 credit class, so basically it is POINTLESS. 
I wish I was one of those students who did so great in college. Like this girl in our building, brooke, she got mad that she got an 85 on the test i scored a 64 on. She was mad because she has to get into graduate school, pretty much she needs to be a genius. Then there is me, who cannot retain information for the life of me. And I look around and realize I love being here but I am afraid that I am not going to even last. And who is going to want to marry me if I cannot even get through college? I just am not book smart! I forget when things are due online, because we dont even discuss them in class. Humanities makes me want to crawl in a corner and scream because it is so dang boring. I probably couldnt tell you one thing I have learned in that awful class. 
Bottom line: I'm not as smart as I thought I was. And it is frustrating 


One good thing for the day? Last night, I went to walmart (after visiting a boy and trying to convince him that coming to walmart with me is way more important than getting enough sleep...it didnt work...) and I bought 4 magnet boards, 2 pink, 2 blue and a white board and replaced those TERRIBLE circles. Only problem is there is still wayy too much white wall that needs to be covered...

You are smart. Don't stress, just keep trying. PS I want to see pics of the boards.
