Hijacking again! My apologies, but I just can't resist tangents sometimes...

Just wanted to note that this was one of the best things I got out of CTY: that intelligence comes in all sorts of packages! It was a feeling of validation that, "no, I'm not a hopeless nerd; no, smart people aren't all nerds; I'm just cool in a way you can't relate to." It was a very important thing to feel when I was 12... but it did make me feel extra miserable when I went back to school... frown
