I'm writing a story which involves an eleven year old boy who happens to be a borderline genius. I want his focus to be in the realm of physics, but I'm out of touch with that is taught in college level courses. Would the following make since? Does it show a high enough level of intelligence?
My birthday arrived on the heels of a stretch of good days. Mom devoted her energies into organizing the party. The hurt I had caused her vanished behind a flurry of phone calls and runs to various stores. I stayed home to brush up on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. My mom enjoyed a discussions of physics and I wanted to be prepared.
