SMRT


The highlight of my week was Monday (I know...unusual) during our orientation at school. We were put into groups with students from all the other different schools on this campus. My group consisted of 2 nursing students, 2 med students, 2 pharmacy student, a dentist student, and a physicians assistant student. We then got paired up to introduce each other. I happened to be paired up with a guy in pharmacy school. He turns out to be Mormon, and tells me if I ate lunch with him, then all the other Mormons on campus would flock to us and I could meet them (which happened - all boys - all married).

Anyway, after the introductions, we were given a puzzle/logic problem to figure out. Each of us had 3 cards with clues on them, and we had to solve the problem together without designating a leader or reading each others' cards. Enter the excitement! I could hardly contain myself. I love this stuff. According to the professor with us, we solved the problem in record time, and we were definitely the first ones out in the lunch line. My favorite part was that I was called "smart" 2 times during the process. Yeah, I know...my wanna-be nerd pride is shooting through the roof right now, but no one has ever called me smart to my face, especially in front of other people! So that's me boasting about myself. It shouldn't be happening again anytime soon.

That sounds like fun! I always thought you were smart; you are the only one who consistently gets Dave's jokes. :)

There is an error in your post. I know for a fact I have called you smart in front of witnesses. But even though you forgot I still think you are incredibly intelligent, i.e. smart. :)
