Is there other people like me who have had one or two suubjects they never needed to read up on? :D

I had religion and history where I would just say the answer out loud even though I should put my hand up which I HAVE learned.
I tihnk it annoyed the girls who had noted everything to remember it and they just tried to rush through it to find the answer before me xD

And also geography where I just began long conversations with the teacher about it so we could get the time going because she was so boring.
Took all the time of the class and just talked about erosion etc. etc. :twisted:

And also a little in science which I always have though was kind of easy.

But it may be because I watch alot of national geographic channel and discovery channel so I learn it at home ;)

IMO TV=the best teacher

I remember being familiar with a lot of subjects in my history classes when they were introduced to me, because my family had an encyclopedia set that I obsessively read through starting at around age five.

Yeah.

The first time I went to college, I flunked out because I never went to class. So when I recently started back up at a different college, I had to take an introductory computer programming class.

It was designed for people who had never programmed a computer before and were naturally awful at it. I had taken an intro to programming class in high school 15 years or so before that, and took to it like a duck to water. I did the AP class, took the AP test, aced it, and had been allowed to just skip the equivalent class at the first college. But with a bad GPA from before, I didn't mind the idea of an easy A.

It was an easy A. Waaaaaaay too easy. The only hard part of that class was staying awake.
