Exponential Ramblings

  A friend of mine called me an intellectual badass the other day simply because he learned I had taken a Physics class at Harvard during my senior year of high school. Ok, sure, I hope that isn't the only qualifier! However, I hope it does inspire the next group of intellectual badasses to rise in the ranks. After all, I consider myself a very average student. I don't always do my homework and get it in on time, I don't always read the book, and I know I don't always study that well. I have test anxiety and find that I daydream in class often.
