I am super duper dedicated to getting As. Like it is a need, not a want.
I'm super weirdly obsessed with it.
I do have to study though
My thing is that my memory is weird. Ask me to memorize something for the short term, and I have it down easy. Like, if you wanted, I could go memorize like a chapter of a book in like ten minutes.
But once you want me to remember it for months and months on end, then I have to study it. And my head also does this weird thing where if I get it wrong in a review game or something I always remember it, even if I didn't even know it was a thing before.
So yeah, my head's a weird place to be.
