Loyal Defender

I think I've figured out why I have such a hard time learning. When I read something in a book, and five minutes after am asked about it, I can't remember what I read. But when there's a time, like in a quiz, when I actually DO need to remember it, it just happens. So by asking me what I've literally just learned, my mom is not only making me a nervous wreck, she's coming up with ridiculous punishments and restrictions for something SHE did to me. 

I also don't do well in Seterra because I want to be able to get the answers wrong without not only worry of a bad  score, but also the threat of, surprise, surprise, restrictions looming over me. I just want to see if I get 'em wrong or right, and learn from my errors. Oh, and NOT have to keep FIFTY ONE STATE CAPITALS IN MIND!
