hey, how d'you know whether or not you're smart? is it just how fast you pick up on things, or how many things you pick up, or whether you can keep the things and use 'em later, or what? i never really thought i was dumb or anything ... but i don't know if i'm all that smart.
but what's smart?
i've never taken an iq test or anything, but i dunno what that has to do with anything. i fail most of my tests 'cos i get all spazzy and distracted and if i forget something or i don't know what i'm doing i get even spazzier. and then i start thinking about all the places i'd just about rather be and how the ceiling is kinda trippy when you actually look at it and when i can get the next issue of gravitation and why is yuki such a jerk. but if i know what i'm doing, i'm still pretty okay. i can talk about it and think about it all right. it's just sometimes i don't know if i know what i'm doing, and it's easy to get distracted. but does being spazzy and distracted make you dumb?
school seems kinda lonely, sometimes, because you learn everything together and you even have a teacher to help you, but when it comes to homework and tests and stuff you've gotta figure it out all on your own. but that's just like that 'real world' thing, isn't it?
maybe i should take an iq test or something.
i get a straight-c average, thankyouverymuch, and it was only through my cleverness and wit that i defeated the evil snowbeast of mffskt.
... okay, i never defeated the evil snowbeast of mffskt, but that's only 'cos it doesn't exist.
i'd rather have a heart than a brain, anyway. i'm lookin' at you, tinman.
so how how d'you know whether or not you're smart?
