I was A honor roll all the way up until 10th grade when I tried it a couple of times, even after the short amount of time that I did it I felt as if my comprehension went down the drain for basically anything that I read, very odd side effects possibly?

That's odd. My comprehension and writing skills increased vastly from 10th grade, which is when I started smoking. Stats show my grades went up.

You can't lose what you didn't have in the first place.

School is quite easy for me, by the way.

Grades are hardly everything, HoH.

I got horrible grades in High School, I wouldn't call myself dumb because of that. I lacked motivation and didn't do my work.

Perhaps pot motivates you, makes you want to get work done. It does that to some people.

Maybe it does. I wasn't going for the grade thing, either. It's just that I understand most of everything I was taught, and remember it well too. I have several friends who did terrible at high school and are still quite smart.

Neg. There's no way you were affected after only a couple times of using.

My friends are motivated by drinking, so they get through school so that they can drink. If they get bad grades then they cant go out, so it motivates them to do well. i cant wait to see what it does to thier livers 10 years from now.

I can tell my cognitive skills are suffering merely from aging, I don't think nearly as clear as I did about 6-7 years ago.

Also, school isn't difficult. Grades reflect nothing more than work ethic, as teachers giving honest grades would upset most parents to no end.

It's too bad that we no longer live in an age where people go to school simply to better themselves, rather they go to school to get a good job.

How I would love to live in those days. I want so badly to get a masters or even a Ph.D in Philosophy, but I know that neither is a very practical thing to do, so I'm undecided whether or not I will.

Tinme management is hard. I'm putting in 60 hours of extra cocklickulars on top of classes and such. Any free time I have I just want to chill out instead of study/do homework.

College is hard as fuck for me. I have time for next to nothing. What college are you going to HoH?

That was my next question. My school was no cakewalk either.

I love learning, I'd still be going to College.

I could see myself working on a philosophy degree or getting a masters in English if it seemed practical. Damn practicality.

In all honesty, if I could get paid for learning, I'd make College my career. I'd take just about every class offered.

And I would be right there next to you. I wish I could live off of staying home and reading whenever the fuck I want, so I don't have to worry about a job or anything like that, just devote my life to learning everything I can. I feel like our current world is limiting me, because I HAVE to get a good job and I HAVE to make a lot of money to be at all successful in this world.

Southwest MN State University in Marshall, MN. I'm just taking generals this semester, so I think that's why it is easy. I have to write a 5-7 minute speech each week for one class, write essays every other period in another, and do papers every week for my science class on top of some daily reading/work. The other classes are mostly just reading. Much less homework than what my high school gave out, and at less frequent intervals. Next semester should be more difficult with Marketing 311, Principles of Accounting, Finite Mathematics, and a couple of other courses I haven't chosen yet.

Yeah, it's pretty much a requirement to survive. Too bad there's not much use for the Renaissance Man anymore...

Yeah :(
