N-E-R-D-A-L-E-R-T
So, I'm going to come right on out and admit it.
I'm a total nerd.
This is why.
Grandma and Grandpa Yager gave me this book for Christmas, called Eats Shoots and Leaves. It's a book all about punctuation. Yes P-U-N-C-T-U-A-T-I-O-N. Like it really is. I'm reading it entirely by choice, and well because my lovely grandparents introduced it to me. But I absolutely love it. I have written all over the pages, underlined things, and have laughed out loud. It makes me feel okayy about the love I have for punctuation, and although it has always been secret, it's been my crush. :] I correct everyone's punctuational mistakes, just not always out loud. :] So I brought this lovely book with me to the Marketplace around dinner, along with my lovely mechanical pencil. I was alone however at dinner. So, total nerd, sitting alone, reading out of her punctuation book, marking things she likes. Yeahh........
Second nerdy moment.
Tori and April were struggling with this extremely hard math problem. It was a story problem, that was pretty difficult. They finally turned to me (interrupting my punctuation book) and asked me to see if I could figure it out. At first, I could not. It was really weird, and difficult. But I refused to give up. :] So I sat here for like twenty minutes, plugging numbers in, doing everything in my head, writing random things down, and they were all kind of watching me. It probably is pretty entertaining to watch, seeing as I like talk to myself, and yeah. But anyway, I'm working on this problem, and then guess what happens. I figure it out. :] All in my head, with my own brain. :] I was so proud of myself. As were they.
It was a great accomplishment.
And, it made me really miss math classes.
