Not strange at all - I'm the same way.

Yeah, I've heard alot about that. The people I know just think it's weird that I don't study.

Go ahead, DT. I don't mind. It would be nice to have someone else known as the "smartest one", so they would stop assuming I know everything.

Anyways, the "study and I do bad on a test" syndrome could have a few causes. First off, if you believe that this works, then it possibly can. Secondly, I forget what the term means, but by studying massive amounts of information, you actualy get rid of other information. Since a test usually includes more things than you study for, you tend to forget whatever else was on the test.

Makes sense. And speaking of tests, my Honors Spanish V midterm was an insult to my intelligence, it was so easy. That's probably because my Spanish teacjer has been around since the Dark Ages of school, when they didn't have midterms, and he doesn't believe in them.

What does not believing in midterms have anything to do with the difficulty of one?

Since he doesn't believe in them, he didn't make it uber-hard or serious, like my math one was. Gahh, I don't even wanna know how bad I did on that one. >_<

I dunno how I did on my finals, but they were all about the same difficulty, which was average, except for my AP world history final, which was really hard, but that's okay because it's being wildly curved.

my history exam had a 20 point curve XD

133 :/

But I am of the opinion that they discriminated against me for being non-american. Case in point: In the email, in the 'people in your area' thing, they were all americans. Yet I put down that I wasn't american on the bit at the end.

Bah.
