Cheating

I cheated a lot during high school and crammed. The subject matter was too easy. Certain cheating takes a tremendous amount of skill… there are time pressures and external variables (such as getting caught) that force you and your senses to heighten, so you’re more sensitive and alert during the cheating. I actually recall having to focus and memorizing and LEARNING WHILE I was cheating, by flipping through a textbook live w/ teacher’s head down, going to the bathroom (which I never did, it’s too easy), crib notes and pen tattoos. In college, computer science was fundamentally important and therefore learning the material correctly was paramount- I borrowed mostly the cramming, but inherited the passion to race against the clock.
