So I'm sitting at a coffee shop downtown, reviewing some mathematics (calculus, actually), and it's spring break. Everyone else is out partying, and I'm sitting here, studying theorems about infinite series and convergence. I guess this makes me some kind of uber-nerd or something. What's more, although I am reviewing this because I need to for one my classes, I actually enjoy this stuff a lot. I like learning about mathematics. I find it satisfying, and interesting, and even fun. I think I like it more than I like, for example, drinking myself blind, which is, I suppose, sort of the normal thing to do over spring break.
It's strange that a person can go out and drink until they puke every night of spring break, and their peers will think this perfectly normal, even praiseworthy, but if a guy would prefer to sit down and study something, that's weird, and mockable.
Ah well...that's why I'm such a nerd I guess...
