Who are you? Are you my twin? I have exactly the same problem with programming, do the little tidying up actions almost reflexively now, AND I climb as well. Absolutely love that climbing all in your head.
Joking aside, I'm a sophomore in college now, and I closely approximate the 'brilliant failure' model (a little arrogant to say that though!). High school was a breeze, but suddenly you can't not do homework anymore. Classes are not going well and either the depression started first or the lazy/bored attitude did; either way, it's a death spiral. Takes a ridiculous amount of brain power to stop it.
Hm that was an impromptu rant, sorry.
- yters 18y agoI know that can be a tough thing. Make sure you can find someone to talk to about it. Doesn't make it magically go away, but it helps.
- hugh 18y agoI suspect that the "brilliant failure" model is a bit of a Barnum profile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect). I suspect most reasonably smart university students feel that way at some point in their careers.
