So weird how I have memories like “I loved school” even though I was insanely bored throughout most of school and was reading under my desk almost nonstop, and so now when I look back I think, “school was fun”! 🤦🏼♀️

I haven’t retconned my memory that way. School was a nightmare, but I was also reading under my desk all the time. I still managed to read 1-2 books a day in school, down from my average 3-4.
For a while, I’d attend entire semesters of classes, barely knowing what class I was in. Often I never brought any actual schoolbooks to class for months at a time.
