Smart is Beautiful

Well howdy folks! I got sick of doing my online classes so I thought I'd take a break and write one of these blog things. You know, because I don't have anything else to do or anything productive like research I should be doing. But that's what evenings are for. I have the lab to myself, I can autoclave whatever I want whenever I want, and can play my music at whichever volume I feel like. So lab and I are having a hot date tonight. Actually, just kidding! It's freezing in lab. I will be dressed up like it's a Wisconsin winter.

Anyways, it's the same old same old with research and being a TA. I sneak out to TRC pretty much every day and climb until my muscles ache. Which means no climbing for Megan tonight. Holding my arms out like a 'T' makes my shoulders scream in agony. I'm guessing that means my last two sessions were awesome. And yes, I sang awesome with jazz hands.

So that's that. Now here comes the cool stuff. Yesterday I was reading a plant pathology journal article on the bus (like the cool kids do) and someone sits next to me. He awkwardly peers over my shoulder to see what I'm reading. He snickers to himself (probably because he couldn't read any of the words). Then he taps my arm to get my attention. I turn to look at him and he tells me 'YOU ARE TOO SMART FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!' Oh jeez, thanks for the insult? So yes, he thought he was being a jerk but he just gave me a big compliment instead :) In honor of that random guy, here are some quotes and pictures of intelligence or intelligent people.
