Confessions of a nerd.

1. I like to read. Yes, for fun. I know that sounds weird to some, but that's the way it is.
2. Every summer I read upwards of 25 books.
3. I do know the meaning of the word idiosyncratic.
4. I regularly correct teacher's mistakes in my head.
5. I once read a thesaurus cover to cover. And liked it.
6. I actually like Dr. Diamond's class.
7. In 6th grade I won a dictionary. And subsequently used it.
8. I skipped a grade. Well, in college, but that still counts.
9. I love bookstores. They're so freaking exciting.
10. I have a collection of maps. (among other, less nerdy collections.)
11. I have TED talks on my ipod.
12. I look forward to Anatomy class.
13. I often unintentionally ignore people because I am thinking about something quite intensely and am thus "lost in my own world"
14. I took AP Physics cause I ran out of science classes to take in High School.
15. I liked AP Physics. A lot.
16. I once stacked all my books up and used them as a shelf for my stereo.
17. I secretly look through the course catalog and wish I had time to take more classes.
18. I get a little obsessed about things that interest me.
19. I used to calculate my GPA off my report cards before they did it for me. Then I would calculate what I needed to get in the next semester to raise my grades adequately.
20. I currently have a 3.938 GPA, and it bugs me unceasingly that it's not a perfect 4.0. I strive to change that.

I think I'll stop at 20 before I scare anyone too much.
