| | I'm SpongeBob, only my name is not Bob. So, I'm just a sponge. I'm super absorbent. I suck in knowledge like water.
As a matter of fact, it was a friend of mine who first started calling me a sponge, that I absorb everything very fast. 'You are very talented. You pick up the violin, you can play the violin; you pick up the guitar, and you can play the guitar,' another friend told me another time, although I think by 'violin', he meant the cello; and I think he was trying to suck me into his department as the committee for a school event--not that I have anything against his strategy, if it were one at all.
I don't go to classes--not purposely; let's just say I'm not a morning person--but I could catch up on my lessons. I absorb everything taught in class through slides and textbooks. I do my homework very last-minute, but I deliver very satisfactorily results, even if it meant staying up all night to grasp a concept or elaborate on a topic. I'm such a sponge that last-minute studying for tests and exams--although it's gruesomely tiring--works for me: just like the final exams that I've just gone through; I think I more or less aced it.
I play the cello for a little more than half a year, and I'm already up for performances, albeit that includes extra intensive practice for myself. I pick up the guitar for less than half a year, and I'm already composing songs, although I know much more can be done with the songs. Give me a song to listen to for three to five times, and I can get most of the tune out for you, thus able to harmonise.
Not having played even a single of game of football prior, I play three matches and I am a fairly acceptable player. Give me some five minutes to half an hour and a ball not so heavy that I can't even swing it properly, and I can give you a couple of strikes in a game of bowling. I'm sure polishing my badminton skills, mastering my ping pong skills, butterfly style and basketball shouldn't be all that hard.
People tell me I have too many activities going on but I don't buy it. I do the things that I like, and I like the things that I do.
I'm a freaking sponge! There are rarely things that are hard for me to learn up.
But still, don't constantly tell me that; it'll only get into my head and get me conceited.
...Although, a little regular praising wouldn't hurt.
P.S.: I just have to say that Nick is wrong, that I have not left Xanga yet again; I was just held up with final exams for the past couple of week, what with my very last-minute studying. And now I'm still stuck in school for drama competition. Maybe those people are right...
