Your story reminds me of something slightly unrelated

FUCK YOU MR. DAUGHERTY YOU MEATHEAD FUCK

I'm a brainlet, I'm only smart enough to follow simple instructions and think politics. But other than that I'm a full fucking to the MAX brainlet. Fuck just ask me a simple math question and I wouldn't be able to do it, no fucking seriously try it. Anyways how can I fix this? I don't want to be a brainlet forever.

>University takes attendance at all classes

I'm in Canada if it makes any difference. Since failing the treatment docs don't want to work with me anymore and stop prescribing me my best drugs. Stimulants, nootropics, and exercise make some difference, but not nearly enough to make me who I used to be.

the thrust is real, but caused by the asymmetric self-heating of the device; effectively, tiny bits of the device are being vaporized and shot off into space, making it effectively a really shitty electrothermal thruster. Real thrust, no physics-breaking or revolutionized space travel.

I'm taking 30mg Extended release and I still can't focus on my work, what the fuck is wrong with me? The only thing that happens now when I take the pill is that I get super-focused on shitposting and cataloging porn on my hard drive

>you will never be a professor at a top 10 institution

Why is it that every successful academic learned fucking group theory and shit before they entered high school? How the FUCK do you compete with that?! I'm in my second year of college and still finishing up Calc 3! It's not fair!!!

>halfass first midterm, barely study at all
>get 74/100
>feel bad, stay up all night to study really hard for the next one
>exact same grade, this time because of a bunch of minor mistakes that were probably the result of tiredness

Where the FUCK are all the extraterrestrials? Don't tell me there aren't any, our galaxy has 400 billion suns and the universe has billions of galaxies.

>tfw terrible with directions, cannot even force myself to imagine a simple geometric shape, and have no visual imagination whatsoever

REEEEEEEEE WHAT WAS THE POINT OF SPENDING ALL THAT TIME LEARNING WORDS IF IT WAS JUST GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE A WORLD WHERE YOU NEEDED NON-WORDS? IT'S NOT FAIR.

Guys, am I capable of becoming a famous scientist despite my previous school performance?

I was unbelievably slow. I lived in Canada for a while, for about six years, during the war. When I was 8, sitting in class, we had to do this mental arithmetic very fast, or what seemed to me very fast. I always got lost. And the teacher, who didn’t like me very much, moved me down a class. There was one rather insightful teacher who decided, after I’d done so badly on these tests, that he would have timeless tests. You could just take as long as you’d like. We all had the same test. I was allowed to take the entire next period to continue, which was a play period. Everyone was always out and enjoying themselves, and I was struggling away to do these tests. And even then sometimes it would stretch into the period beyond that. So I was at least twice as slow as anybody else.

Amusing anecdote:

I remember I struggled immensely with a particular problem on the final, and went to my professor afterwards. I asked him WTF the answer to 3b was:
>Well Anon you should have gotten something simple, like √16x, so 4√x was the answer IIRC.
>What?! I got ((3/2π√17) /7) + 2/3
>(i remembered it vividly because I spent ONE-THIRD of my test on it)
>*chuckles* Nooo... I don't think that's it. Here, let's do it now
>Fifteen minutes and two chalkboards later he just stops and saying fuck it
>Is only halfway to the point where I gave up on the test
>says he might make that problem "worth fewer points"
>mfw


>later go home and drink until the numbers go away

Why am I so fucking lazy with maths. I'm falling behind fast and can't be bothered to do anything about it.

JUST
