I am a math guy. But it is strange because all through HS and "lower math" i was pretty average (didn't care) but as it has gotten more difficult (useful/relevant) it just kind of natural.
Yeah though, i can't to get the upper division classes where there is less structure (from what i hear) and is more dependent on your grasp (i guess is the best way to put it).

I have a medical terminology test every friday. This week I was overloaded with work, so I had no chance to study. I had to learn all the glands in the endocrine system, their functions, and various related disorders all in the last 8 hours. Needless to say my brain is about to explode.

Oh I will own you in the art of BS-ing a paper. I just BS-ed my way to a 100 on a paper about the effects of Traumatic Childhood Experiences on children who were prenatally exposed to alcohol.

I really don't know what American schooling so I can't compare it to Australian stuff. Yeah the concepts and ideas are the same, but what the markers want differs. Our marking criteria's are tough as hell and if you ******** your way through it you will be lucky to get over 80%.

That's how it was for our AP (Advanced Placement) courses. Do it their way or you're out on the highway.

i just bs-ed my way through an AP(advanced placement) history essay on Andrew Jackson. I turned a 3 sentence thought on the bank of the US into a 2 page essay on why the trail of tears affected the longterm affects of america.
it was funny when the teacher threw my friends 1/2 page essay into the trash.

One time in AP US HIST last year, when I honestly didn't feel like bullshitting anymore, I just wrote a story about J.P. Morgan and the magic lantern, and ended with a banana being a terrorist. Forgot to put my name on it, so the teacher read it to the class. It was kind of embarrassing, but mostly awesome.
I slept the ENTIRE year in that class, kinda amazed at how I got a 3 on the AP. Hell, same with Calc, I honestly was expecting 1's. Dreams can come true.
