Dumbness

So when is it that you feel dumb? being a part of the smartest student group in the building, it's not necessary for one to be "smart." I realized that long time ago, but was reminded of it not too long ago.

First, a lab, something that an IB senior is expected to know how to do was assigned. Being due on a certain day, like always, I sat down to do it the night before. In my mind thinking that it's reasonable lengthy, hard, and etc. However, I was soon astounded when I, like many others, could not figure out how to do it. Can't speak for other IBians, but I sat down for hours staring at the data, trying to figure out what it meant. I was due past Friday, and I still have no idea what to do or how to do it. I am sure that I am not alone. But this isn't the only part that made me realize how stupid/dumb, one, or more specifically, I can be.

I was talking to a friend online. She left and her little sister starts talking. I've met them before so it wasn't an awkward conversations. I actually talked to her for a little while about her school, about how we boht aer trimendously amasing spellers, and about her Science Fair project that involves diapers. After a nice conversation, I see the the words, "i am back." I thought my friend's back and I tell her how cool her little sister was when I was asked if I was annoyed by the 10 year old. After sayin cool and nice things about the little one, I was told that my friend wasn't "back" on the first place and it was the little girl all along. I was tricked. Sad part is, this wasn't the first time that something like this happened. Got to say, that's one smart way of finding out whats inside someone's head. But, being tricked by a 10 year old, trust me people, doesn't really make you feel like Einstein or Marx (can't think of other intellectuals/smart folks).

Extended Essay is due on coming Tuesday. I don't know what to say. "Yay, about time it's over"? Or "Give me some more time." What I can say is, many of the IB seniors would definitely love to have some more time for it.
