I got spoiled or developed a bad attitude about studying, maybe because my basic intelligence and common sense got me by "good enough" (usually in top 10%) through much of school until I ran into more challenging stuff in engineering school ...Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Advanced Thermodynamics, for example.
Then I did what you're describing a few times. Afterwards I felt really disappointed in myself since I "wanted" to do better, but only after my second college year did I change my ways. But there's hope: now even most of that "esoteric" stuff seems second nature to me so I guess it sunk into my thick head and now I be a injun ear.
