My Great Failure When it comes to School

I want to start this blog off by saying that I DON'T think that I am a super-genius, cause I'm not. But I do recognize that I am an intelligent person. My greatest problem when it comes to school is that I get really really bored during class. It generally starts when the professor goes off on a tangent about things that I deem are irrelevant. So at that point my mind selects from an ample selection of distractions that has been provided by the Fantasy books that I've been reading since I was around the age of 5. I begin to philosophize and ponder on the subject and before I know it, not only is the tangent over but so is the class. It entertains me, but also makes going to class almost completely pointless. I think that I would do better with a tutor and an on-line course. I also think that I might have a strange combination of ADD and OCD. I'm easily distracted from things that are important by things that are enjoyable, but at the same time, if i have parameters put around me(A/E you cant go anywhere this weekend until the yard is mowed) I'm very good at getting the job done, and doing it well. And yes, I did write this post in the midst of a tangent during my finance 101 class that is about to end(30 minutes later, I know that its a tangent because it started with the phrase "I digress from my topic but...")
