I like to work at my +own pace and pursue rabbit holes and tangents. I dislike exams and any aspect of +competition injected into the learning process. At school my grades were always +lower than my actual knowledge level because I never studied for the test, I +pursued what was interesting to me to depths not required by the exams. + +I think all people who love learning for its own sake are like this but I did +actually _need_ the licence in order to be able to transmit and start gaining +practical knowledge. Having the test booked for the end of the month helped me +concentrate and stay on target.
