I've been that way since I was was a kid but my dad wouldn't let me apply for scholarship as a special needs student so I flunked out of college because I took too long on my exams and stuff."

He chuckled at his complaint, though, and nodded. "Yeah... America's not what she used to be. Poor girl."
