Dear Mr. Dumbiverse, I have greatly appreciated your realistic portrayal of being a 'gifted' student who suddenly finds themselves in over their heads academically and has no idea how to handle the situation or their embarrassment, and, in fact, must completely relearn their approach to education. Good show. Sincerely, Spookyscaryskelelander, esq.

I know all about that first half!  It’s the relearning the approach to education I think I probably still have trouble with.  I mean, my “solution” was to change schools to something I didn’t really have to study for.  The math class at art school was easy!  I still have no idea if I could manage to learn Calculus.  

Anyway, I guess what I’m sort of circling is, yeah, it’s pretty intuitive for me to write Walky stumbling into this hole.  It’s the stumbling out of that’s gonna be fun to figure through!  I don’t think Walky can go to another school to solve this.  I’d have to stop writing him.
