It's Hip to be a Square

I have realized lately what a complete and total nerd I am.

Perhaps I have been in a blissful state of denial even though the evidence was obvious, but I can't ignore it any longer. As I was picking out my classes for next semester I looked at what was available and what I needed to take in the future and I was overwhelmed. Forensic Accounting? Strategic Management and Planning? Government and Non-Profit Accounting? If my mom reads this she will be half asleep just reading the names of the courses, and I don't blame her. Nothing about those classes sounds exciting - yet I am kind of excited to take them.

Another nail in the coffin of nerd-dom is that one of my favorite board game is "Star Wars Trivial Pursuit". Blame it on the fact that people have called me Princess Leia for years or that my boy friend has a strange affinity for Han Solo (appropriate, right?) but there is just something about being a Star Wars fan that seals your fate as a die-hard nerd.

Did I mention that I own six out of the seven available series of Smallville and that those are the only DVDs in my apartment right now?

I guess it could be worse, though.
I could be a Treky.

Are you kidding me?? Forensic Accounting sounds totally cool! I would be sure to bring that CSI ultraviolet light thingie each and every day!

I LOVE Star Trek! When I was younger I liked Smallville too. Now I think I just like the Amazing Race (because it makes me laugh so hard) and CSI (because I love mystery).

And even though those courses sound totally hard, I think the challenge might actually be the fun part for you!
