<p>you know you’re a nerd when you get mad that your teacher isn’t using enough book resources to teach in his/her AP class and you take it upon yourself to buy books relating to that subject and self studying.</p>
<p>you also know you’re a nerd when you come to the realization that you’ve been dreaming of a top 20 school that no one’s heard of, but you know everything about. [and you take every chance you get to educate people of what a great school it really is] … seriously though, what idiot hasn’t heard of johns hopkins!!!</p>
<p>^ You’ve met people that haven’t heard of Johns Hopkins? I get not knowing the “s”'s, but not knowing it in general…really?</p>
<p>^ i have. most of the people at my school haven’t heard of it. someone thought it was some run down place … that made me super mad.
a couple people even kept misspelling it, continuously, even after i corrected them multiple times.</p>
<p>Wow. I guess a lot of students at my school wouldn’t know what it is now that I think of it. I’ve kind of known since sixth grade because we were studying someone who graduated from there. (Some marine biologist… I can’t remember who now.) Ever since, I had wanted to go to Johns Hopkins. (Not so much now though.)</p>

You believe you Ap Biology book is like Excalibur- if you are not worthy it will not open its magical pages for you- this is your excuse for not studying all summer LOL</p>
<p>eh- thats it- I have been at full force nerd power for some time now- Miss it.</p>
<p>Just experienced a few:</p>
<p>You go to the public library and develop hawk-like eyes when scrolling through the shelves for SAT/SATII/AP books, being able to spot the 1995 Barron’s AP Bio edition while ignoring the book that says “TANTRIC SEX” in caps and neon-like coloring.
You try to check out all 10 AP Bio books from the library and get into an argument with the librarian about sharing resources.
You call up a nearby friend to help you carry your books to your car, persuading him by lending him an AP book.
You have 1-2 bookshelves full of books from Barron’s, PR’s, Kaplan, REA, Cliffs, Schaum’s, Peterson’s, Sparknotes.
You can identify every company and book style listed above.

<p>-Your teacher doesn’t allow you to answer questions or participate in games for extra credit because your class average is already over 100%.
-When your teacher is unsure the answer to a student’s question, he or she turns to you.
-Everyone in your classes (most jokingly) hate you because you are the reason a curve cannot be applied OR your teacher doesn’t include your grade when calculating the curve but gives you the points anyway.
-You can’t stop laughing because of the chemistry joke you just read online…while googling “Chemistry jokes.” ;)</p>
