Sounds pretty similar to me. One of those kids with natural ability that hated the learning experience because it was totally uninteresting and ended up bored.. I didn't so much hate the time though because really aside from the immense frustration of schooling.. having no responsibility and finding out things for the first time - sex, drugs etc was a fun period. I look back on that time of my life with great fondness, but more for the extra-curricular activities.
Although I must add my closest friends are still from high school which appears to be at odds with a lot of people's experiences. I only did a 2 year degree at college then 4 years at a large company before working for myself - not enough time especially compared to such a formative setting to challenge the ties i made with several people in highschool.
However I sure as fuck wouldn't want to go back to being that person and doing those things for the rest of my life.
