I was actually told in a poli sci class that I was too deep a thinker. Really? You can do that in a school? Think too much? Hmmm... It only got worse in college, much worse, probably because I expected to find like minded folks. Unfortunately I vacillated between your way of getting through and TJ's option. Fortunately I cann't keep a habit, even a bad one, and quickly became distracted with real life, which was way more interesting and challenging, and far fuller.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-38061989001069526132010-03-15T09:36:51.214-05:002010-03-15T09:36:51.214-05:00Sad thoughts really.

At least now, high school students can take some college classes so they can at least learn something and be challenged. <br /><br />My brother died at 39 from his drug and alcohol use, which is awfully darn young.

I also was very bored with classes in my senior year... except for (believe it or not) advanced biology, too. But, I got involved in yearbook my junior year and senior year I was editor...it gave me a project, a goal, something to look forward to. It's too bad about your friend with the fried brain...that stuff has consequences! (It makes me think of Glenn Beck and his 15 years of cocaine/mj addiction...and his brain.)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000632281014476258noreply@blogger.com
