That's the thing.

I could read and write and do sums and stuff before school. It's just that odd thing that I must have learnt most of what I know from school but can't really remember anything useful or detailed. Was just that Latin thing that made me thinkabout it and now I feel a bit weird. And I really don't think that anything I spent three years doing at university has impacted on my knowledge bank at all. I used to know the periodic table off by heart but now I'd struggle to say the atomic number of any element.
