<p>hey, its spring break and what am i doing? studying for AP exams! can you blame me?
who else is studying for tests? is this so wrong? According to my prep books I should have started studying sooner (like 6 wks ago) but even my best friend called me a "nerd" and it hurts. she has way better grades, and makes me feel bad when i try to put some effort. (btw i m a sophomore)</p>
<p>Parent here. Good for you, Vicky_sky! Keep up the good work.</p>
<p>Just so you know, being a nerd isn't a bad thing. The way I define a nerd is someone really smart. Who cares if your studting for exams? Your probably going to get better scores than here because of your passion.</p>
<p>I see nerd as a good thing and a geek as a bad thing.</p>
<p>I wish I were as proavtice as you are... I probably won't start studying until the break is over.</p>
<p>Do what you like. Who cares if someone else thinks you're a nerd? It's pretty sophomoric (no pun intended) of your "friend" to say that to you anyway. Forget her; good luck with your APs. By the way, they're really not that hard (I'm serious--the curves are astounding--much easier than you'd expect) so don't stress out TOO much :)</p>
<p>I randomly signed up for AP Biology and I've only taken Honors Bio. :D Now, I have to teach myself the whole curriculum in a few weeks. Biology alone isn't too bad. Biology and BC Calculus [I'm in for it :rolleyes:]? Sadly, I have been inflicted with a particularly severe form of the virus Freshmanitus procrastinatus, and it seems that I won't be recovering anytime soon. </p>
<p>And, I think I'm failing Earth Science. Pray for me.</p>
<p>Why, how odd! I too have been severely infected with Freshmanitus procrastinatus. We may have to call House in on this one.</p>
<p>At least I only have 1 AP next year, Human Geography. Both a blessing and a curse.</p>
<p>OMG! I feel the same way studying for SAT II's on Easter break...and I'm like, wow, I'm such a fre-ack. No worries though-If I study a few days now, I'm going to a hellogoodbye concert and seeing legally blonde. Not so nerdy, eh? I say be yourself, and be proud. If you want to do well, what's wrong with that? (any of the so-called friends I had last year as a freshman who said I was "so weird" for studying for the SAT II's, got scores so low they won't tell-and they thought 500 was a great score...no joke. Don't let others get you down)</p>

</p>
<p>Me too .</p>
<p>I'm a freshman, so I have no AP courses right now, but I am studying for the SAT Biology test, and I'm only in Bio Honors :D</p>
<p>I presume you have been infected with Freshmanitus procrastinatus as well, Armando?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, yes. I've read 20 pages, that's about it :-/</p>
<p>I hope that you get well soon. It is quite a devastating disease.</p>
<p>Just so you guys know you have it backwards. A geek is good, a nerd is bad. Nerd means you are socially inept, geek kinda just means you have your quirks.</p>
<p>Oh, I've always thought the reverse to be true, makshim.</p>
<p>I've always defined it the other way around, makshim, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Either way it doesn't matter because I'm still socially inept. Not to mention even my friends think I'm "slow."</p>
<p>eeeeeeeeee tuff sweety.</p>
<p>Calling everyone nerds its a big problem at my school. Its not the fault of people that study for there tests.</p>
<p>I guess I'm at the opposite end. I want/need to study for the APs for spring break, I just can't bring my self to it.</p>
<p>The only one I'm studying for is Spanish...I can cram for everything else.</p>
