I'm smart, but I'm lazy. Well, not lazy, just unfocused / unmotivated, vaguely rebellious kinda thing.
The opportunity to be creative is horribly distracting for me. Builds and videos, etc.
I was one of four freshmen that were already in Algebra II at my high school, but did not advance that year due a very prolonged flu in the second semester, after which I managed to recover all classes to A - C except for that one (as recovering it would be unnecessary for graduation and cause the other grades to suffer)
