Now on becoming a nerd. It is funny how in high school and dare I say some of college I still feared learning and being the "nerd." I wanted to be cool or some component of cool. Now, I cannot sit here and say I would not like to be cool, but that being a nerd here is precisely that, cool. I have heard people say things like, "oh that is so dante (as if a usual act of some friend)," or "I think I would marry Aristotle if here was right here," or even updating their current status on face book as, "Maggie is that than which a greater cannot be thought (a by product of reading Anselm of Canterbury's work Proslogion )."
All to say is that I am really enjoying the environment, and hope to embrace the hidden and untapped nerdiness (a new word is in order) that I know I have. I love to learn, and this place continues to feed that hunger. Thanks for reading and if you feel so inclined, embrace your nerdiness.

It feels so good to hear some affirmation for embracing the inner nerd. bravo dallas. you have always been the affirmation king in my mind.
I always knew there was a nerd inside of you- I'm proud of you for embracing it! I must admit that Oxford sounds amazing and I'm a little jealous of all the learning that you are doing.
