This morning is one of the very rare ones where I am up because I did not sleep the whole night. Of course, new year party and all! So while returning back at 5, everyone was talking about skipping the 10:15 class. I did not say anything and of course everyone knew that I am not going to skip. I will attend the class even if I sleep in it and everyone kept on asking me why I was such a nerd and why do I have to listen.
Well here's the reason. I am very big on the learning. The prof is really good and I don't have prior knowledge on any of the stuff he talk about. Since I always get frustrated when we get a bad prof, I find myself hypo-critic if I miss classes of a good prof as well. The reason I am big on learning is because unlike others, I did not grow up in an environment where I had sufficiently qualified people to clear my doubts. I always yearned for a teacher who for once can answer my questions beyond the one directly written in the book, someone who him/herself understood the concepts. I got such teachers in mathematics and that is why I am good at it but never any other subject. Rather than having to gain that knowledge over a long period by reading and all, why should I loose the opportunity of getting in a 90 min class, just because I am a little sleep deprived? Yeah, right! Not gonna happen! Ever! And I am proud of myself! Proud to be different!
