True Geniuses

I think I've discovered what a true genius is. A true genius is someone who studies less than others, but gets a higher grade. And I think he probably does this by being exam smart. Like not making careless mistakes etc...basically, just going in and finishing the job professionally. That's it, geniuses are professionals at school.

After my 3.5 hour lesson, I've realised how faster I could have gone. Well, we learned electrolysis today, and yeah, at first it was a little difficult to catch any sort of balls, but after getting the hang of it, it just flowed. And after it started to flow, I wanted the teaching to be in sync with the speed of the flow, but no, the teacher still went at snail speed.

Perhaps it's because of the other people who may not have caught any sort of balls yet.

If the teaching was a little faster, 3.5 hour lessons could have been reduced (Reduction and Oxidation. Oh crap I'm becoming a nerd) by maybe half an hour, which would definitely benefit both teacher and student. Half an hour of school holiday is a large amount in today's context.

But then again, I think I'd rather be getting a better grade come next January then having an extra thirty minutes of play.

So, it's that age-old question again of "enjoy first, suffer later?" or "suffer first, enjoy later?". But it's a different principle for geniuses: "enjoy first, enjoy later."

So, advice of the day: Let's all be geniuses
