When I was 7 there was a fire drill and I was changing in the bathroom into my spare change of clothes because I had been playing in the snow. I freaked out and ran outside in my underwear infront of the whole school in the snow. I still haven't lived it down, to this day if people say "fire drill" from my class they all look at me.
J'irai bien.

yeah that was the idea but I'm sort of a freak and it didn't have that effect, it had the opposite. that's why I think it's weird that it helps people study because it leaves you so out of it...but like you said it has a different effect depending on the person

yeah that sounds kind of strange...usually when you're stoned you can't concentrate that well and you don't remember that much, or at least that's what I've seen from my own experience. I have friends though who get stoned a lot and get A's in school so I guess it depends on the person. In my case it was just because I have sort of "stage fright" and pot makes me paranoid as fuck usually(that's why I don't smoke it anymore) so it just accentuated that stage fright, but maybe for someone else it would help(or not actually make a difference) who knows.

Something similar happened to me a couple years ago. I had to do a presentation on the book "Lolita" and I suck at doing presentations, well actually worse than suck, I basically just can't do them. So anyway right before the presentation I had lunch break and I got really stoned, stupidly. When my turn came in class to do the presentation I started talking and I started getting extremely nearvous(even more because I was stoned which makes me paranoid as fuck) and just stopped in the middle of a sentence and stood there in silence for what seemed like eternity(10 minutes) listening to my classmates telling me to "common' just do the fucking presentation". extremely embarrassing and traumatizing experience, I haven't done a presentation since. I don't know what I'm gonna' do when I get to college and teachers don't let me get away with my stage fright excuse...

I have so much of the maps and details of the levels on Red Alert 2 (fantastic RTS for those who don't know) committed to memory that I can now beat maps with a par time of close to an hour in around 7 minutes

*Bump* My friends and I flushed a glove down the toilet in the boys bathroom in elementary school. The toilet backed up so badly, water flowed out of the bathroom and into the hallway. It was awesome.

I fell asleep during a career day presentation during elementary school. I couldn't help it; he was an accountant.

Wow, that exact same thing happened to me.
