What's Painful

[Undertoad]

Yeah, B!

In my senior year of HS I decided that I wasn't going to pass Physics because the way they taught it was ridiculous. So I took two "half classes", Computer Math and Electronics, instead. This turned out to be a glorious life-changing choice.

Anyway, the Electronics class was a "shop" class and there were only two of us there who were college and learning oriented, and we were obviously very smart and learned everything taught.

(sidebar in next post)

There was also a "dumbest" kid in that class, a kid who can't latch onto anything the teacher says. We're talking borderline retarded, to be blunt. But one day we're learning about magnetism and its relation to electricity; and the teacher mentions that sometimes a cow will eat nails; and this kid, like out of nowhere, perks up as if someone threw a switch, and explains the whole phenomenon in great detail for three minutes.

Farming was his "thing" just like football was B's friend's "thing".
