I usually think that our more specialised from the beginning university system is better than the one in the States, but I would support the introduction of juggling and tap-dancing classes for all degrees 100%. Sure, I could take one module from another department, but none of them have classes that cool.

I always knew my drawing got better by practising, but I'm always drawing anyways, so it's not like I can help practising. And people have always spontaneously come and asked me how I got so good at drawing, which always confused me because I never thought it was a special skill or anything, and yet boosted my ego immensely.

There's another thing I always do, which might be another feature of being 'gifted' or whatever (or just a feature of me being bad at people) I always have to remind myself that everything I know is not common knowledge. I'm trying to think of an example here but I can't come up with one. I am that bad. XD I don't know if any of the facts in my brain is especially rare. Mitosis? Does the average person know how mitosis works? How fossils are made? What Neanderthals ate?
It also leads to me sometimes over-explaining things and accidentally patronising people when I do remember.

Yeah, I think that is just me being bad at people.
