"But me? In most of my classes I'm just doing enough to scrape by, which is fine by me. I don't wanna get left behind or anything, but at the same time... well, frankly it's boring having to sit through a bunch of discussions about stuff you don't care about. I probably spend more time trying not to fall asleep and doodling in the margins of my note paper than anything else during most of the theory portions of classes."
