Is it normal to be intelligent and stupidly clumsy at the same time?

I mean, I'm good at getting good grades and I'm not stupid as far as I know.

But my friends keep wondering how I'm so good at school if I'm stupid enough to trip on a flat surface. Seriously, it's not even funny.

One time I was sitting at home, doing homework (once upon a year) and thinking and the next moment the world is tilting sideways. At first I thought it was sleep deprivation, but then I realized I forgot to breathe. FORGOT. TO. BREATHE. Does that even happen to people?

Also, I'm a little tense when listening to music in class now because I might just start singing along and not notice people staring.

I also spill stuff a lot, I don't know how it happens. I'm standing there, talking to my friend with a cup of tea in my hands, and then I swing it and apparently all the stuff spills out of it and i don't notice. Seriously. My friend's standing there staring like I killed a bear and I keep on talking. Sometimes it's dangerous too. One time I missed the cup and poured scalding hot water on my hand. Am I a threat to myself?

I've also made a fool out of myself at school when I tell the teacher the answer and the class asks to repeat and I repeat the wrong thing, like the number of the page. (it was english and it was required, okay?) But the answer was pretty intelligently composed, which is why i had to repeat it. or so the teacher said.

    I reckon it's normal because I'm the exact same! Seriously that description right there sounds like me :)

    Common sense and intelliegence never go hand in hand you either have one or the other, and it seems that you were given the gift of intelliegence rather than common sense. Therefore in answer to your question, yes, it' s completly normal x

      I agree to this for sure, because I also get really good grades; I even got accepted to one of the top 4 culinary schools in the US.

      But I act as though I'm drunk all the time when I'm not. I walk into things all the time, say some of the stupidest things when I don't mean to and so on...

    The places responsible to movement and intellect is in different parts of the brain. So I guess it's normal.

    I think this is pretty darn common.
