What makes me special?

Honestly, what is it? Is it anything? I'm an intelligent person, but then I read this riddle:

Alice, Betty, and Carol took the same series of examinations. For each examination there was one mark of x, one mark of y, and one mark of z, where x, y, z are distinct positive integers. After all the examinations, Alice had a total score of 20, ( Read more... )

Dude, if it makes you feel any better, I couldn't get the riddle either, and I've spent the last 3 years doing nothing but math =/

That's how I knew it was out of my league. You didn't get it.

Oh pish posh, don't be like that.

I say you go to Italy and become a glass blower. Nothing keeps a person stimulated and aware like working with fire and liquified glass.

Oh if I could... spinto November 6 2007, 20:04:07 UTC

...but unfortunately I made a vow to myself that I'd never earn a living blowing anything. It's one vow I intend to keep.

Yeah, this would be a good step in the right direction, I'm just out of practice in the tech field and don't know where to look anyway. Hence the reason I'd like to make a webpage, to relearn some coding and server hosting.

Uh so I'm not a complete nerd like you are. Being the reassuring friend I try to be though I will say something anyways. You're smarter than me... I mean I wish I could go to class occasionally and know everything on the tests without putting a thing into it. So basically... you suck. Be glad for the talents you've been given and don't give up on them just because you're stuck right now, that doesn't mean you have to be for the rest of your life. You're 24, you're not 80... its not too late and its never too late! Just keep your mind fresh as much as you can by doing that nerdy stuff you do. Eventually things will work out for you, they always do. The whole thing about you almost failing out of high school, well do remember you got a full scholarship, so you must be doing something right. You're capable of so much if you just dealt with all the BS that comes along with it. All that BS would pay off in the end. I'm done writing my novel now.
