smart people

i went to a smart people banquet last night. didn't fit in. these kids have nothing else to do with their time but study. i'm sure most of them were thrilled to get that dictionary. o well. it is a nice dictionary. Mom and i ate the dinner comparing etiquette techniques. She knew most of it because she had to learn it from Mommy2. i knew some from Brooke. i really don't know why Brooke knows etiquette, but she taught us some during the summer. The rest of the night, spent talking to the least nerdy person at our table. and he was still a nerd. a lot of them will find it hard to adjust to college. i'm not saying i won't, but i don't think i'll have as hard a time as the B is a flunking grade, i'll die if i get one people. Mina was there too! I went up to talk to her and asked her what she was doing there--she made some comment about her SAT scores being scary enough that she didn't know how she got there either. the Manhattan Principal talked about most of his honor students having above a 4.0. that's only because they weight their classes. it makes a 4.0 look like nothing when we work hard (probably harder) to get it.
