It has now happened.

For all of you out there in college/university or possibly high school, you will understand this. for you others, you'll be cool if you read this. so all you educational institution people, im sure you all know the smart person. There is at least on in every class. often there are more than one and in that case there is one you know or is the friend of a friend kind of thing. they are the people who ask all these deep questions in class about the affect of negative mass on time while you are talking to your friend trying to figure out why gravity has a negative sign in front of it. And when you get midterm marks back the teacher will be like the lowest mark was a 21 and the highest was a 92, and the average was 55 sorta thing. automatically you assume/figure out that the smart person is the one with the 92. (the 21 you just laugh at but secretly hope it isnt you). So how are these smart people usefull (except for raising the average so the curve can bite you)? basically they can make people feel good. If they get like 30% higher than you, no big deal cuz they are smart and do homework 24-7 and study and stuff. but when you get within about 5% or beat them (even by .5%) you feel really good. Also if they have a problem, say with a math question, and you figure it out, you feel really good and it makes your day. or at least my day. Im not sure but i have a feeling it is hard being the smart person because everyone always has expectations that they want you to satisfy. but, meh. So im sure (ok entirely guessing) that you are wonding why i am posting on this, well i will now tell you. today(technicaly yesterday) an increadable event took place. I am now the smart person in a certain class. well sort of. In my Math 209 "the return of the calculus" lab, i was the one and only person to get 100% on all my lab quizes. It was close to the easiest 10(i think)% ive ever got. but i still feel good. Me, I am the altimate math 209 quiz writer (in my section). But yes earlier that day i did sign up for the Math 209 review, and yes I had spend the last 5 days trying to figure out my homework assignment, but i still had a perfect quiz record. but befor you all think the greatness has gone to my head (or if you think it is already there) last year in "the calculus strikes back" i was the one with the 21, only i think it was an 18. yes 18% on my math 101 final. that was ugly, but i did pass, scraping my back on the bar. But anyway that helped make toay cool. me, i am the smart one, ask me questions, o wait people already do that.

Author note: the views and opinions expressed in this post are not necissarily the views and/or opinions of the author, ok im just messing with your mind, i need sleep. but the accual note, even thouhgt i "spoofed" the star wars titles to relate to calculus 2 and 3, even The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi were movies 2 and 3 to come out, they are accually numbers 5 and 6 respectively. I just used movie 5 to relate to calc 2 and 6 to 3. i hope i cleared up that BLATENT mistake
