I don't understand when people talk about studying all the time. Maybe exam week, okay. But throughout a whole semester of school, constantly studying? You don't do that. Maybe if studying is doing homework to you, perhaps that is acceptable. But I just don't get it.

I pretty much learned that if you're bad at something, no amount of studying will change that. I had four classes this semester and 4.0'd three of them. I also had an algebra class which I got a 2.5 in. I studied for the algebra class as much as I studied for the other three classes combined and still did shitty in it.

dude, you just totally used this as an excuse to brag about your stupid grades.

also, ironically, what amanda is describing in this post is pretty much exactly your habits.

real smart people don't have to study.

That's not true. The only thing I studied for continuously was my math class. For the other classes I only studied for tests.

I don't think you can even make a valid claim that intelligence can be measured by performance in academics. You can be "smart" and still have to study to conform your thoughts to a certain format that a professor or school deems the correct method.
