Yeah.
The only class I aced well in was English.
That was it.
I was terrible at math.
I was terrible at science.
Like all my friends were like, Shin, you're Asian.
What the hell?
Why are you in CP math?
Why aren't you not in the honors?
So in terms of like getting good at it, I would say pretty quickly.
I realized I picked it up pretty fast, at least compared to like,
what the guy on YouTube was saying.
He was like, you should take about three months to do this, and I managed to get it in, like, a day or something like that.
So...
I'm pretty sure it's because of the piano.
Piano gave me, you know, when you're playing the piano, you have to, like, move each finger.
And it has to be very nimble, and you have to be able to, like, stretch in ways that aren't really normal, especially for, like, octaves and stuff.
And sleight of hand is very similar in that sense.
You're moving your fingers and bending in a way that's not natural.
And so for me, I was like, oh, this is like the piano.
