63 - I hate being smart sometimes.
65 - There are waaay too many expectations that come with being smart.
67- 90% of the time, being smart is awesome. Heaps of free time, doing homework easily. There's less pressure. However, being smart also means that I have a lot more work, I get extra assignments, and there's a high expectation on how well I shall do. If I don't meet that expectation, suddenly, I'm slipping in my standards and need to put more time into keeping that high standard.
Also, at my school, being smart means you have to take the 'hard' subjects and its expected that you take part in extra-curricular activites as well as taking part in all, if not most competitions (or whatever else). And generally, my classmates see 'smart people' as someone to ask for help... as in asking for help for everything, even if they don't need the help.
I wouldn't exchange my smartness for anything, but it's just tiring sometimes.

68- I really know where you are coming from! Nearly every single person in nearly every single one of my classes always asks me for ways of solving this or completing that. Now, don't get me wrong, I love helping people and all that but, I just find it actually really difficult to express the answer to their question. Like I know what they need help with and I have the answer its just I suck at expressing the answer in a clear way. Yeh so I get what you mean about it being tiring, and I'm not what you would call a nerd or even typically a 'smart' but I guess in class I get straight down to learning and well I guess I just...you know...learn and is educated which is why everyone thinks I'm smart. Maybe it's cause I actually pay attention!?!
Haha sorry for my rant.
So if you want my advice don't take being smart as a chore, just let it come to you naturally and then the pressure will lessen and you will find that you were stressing about nothing :) hope I helped in some way :)
69 - I suppose. Although I find it absolutely annoying on some days. Thanks for the advice.
:)
:)
93 - Happy early birthday!!!
