We all have a friend like October's Nerd of the Month. The kind that you love to death, but you just want to slip a horse tranquilizer every now and then. It's not that she's bouncing off the walls or presents a danger to anyone's health (occasionally excluding that of a certain physics teacher), she just stresses herself out all the time. She's always pushing herself to do better, which is never a bad quality to possess, but seriously, the girl's gonna have a stroke before we graduate. Plus, her overachieving is making us procrastinators look really bad. Is it too much to ask to not get a perfect score on just one calculus test? Some of us could really use that curve, missy...
As I mentioned before, I really do love this nerdette, even though she thinks it's hilarious to come up behind me all stealthy-like and scare the ba-jesus out of me. She holds such a special place in my heart (yes, I've got one), that I've subjected myself to the horrors of 12 pound girls frolicking about in spandex get-ups that are on loan from the Liberace Collection. That's right - we're talking dance recitals.
Let us now pause to let that fully sink in...
Yep, this nerd's got more rhythm and coordination in her little finger than I'll ever hope to have in a lifetime. Than again, a quadriplegic with a lobotomy's got more coordination than me...
Now that I've successfully reached my lack of self-esteem quota for the day, we'll get on with the presentation.
Ladies and gents, let's hear it for October's Nerd of the Month, Natasha.
