No not at all... See there is a zero period comp class ( before school ). 8 kids are in that class, only about 2 or 3 know a didly dunk about computers. You are supposed to already have a good aptitude to take this class, which is obviously very low, on my scale at least. Then there is the other guys that can't take the class, or don't want to get up that early. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. No harm..... Now, these 'half' or so 'computer geeks' i speak of only deserve that name because of their frantic C&C gaming.... Hell, they probably couldn't tell you what I/O means, much less resolve serious hardware issues. Its pathetic, I mean they can't even setup a decent server, they should be using NAT ( since all the damn teachers complain about not being able to use Real Player, streaming that is... ) where they are using some slow proxy server, that I cannot recall the name of. Get this, we have around 300 computers on campus... Well, they can't quite seem how to networkt them all effeciently with CAT 5, so what they did is throw down some fibre optic between wings... Now if this isn't a waste of my parents precious tax money, I do not know what is. Sure, it will be useful in the future.... But not for a LONG time, since it is a very small town....
As a highschool sophomore( upcoming year ) I can say with all honesty, that there is DEFINATELY NOT an abundance of 'geek girls'. Much less computer geeks at my school. Total I think there is like 12 computer geeks, about half of that which are morons. At least at my school I do not feel pressured to persue sports ( even though I play football and lift weights winter-spring ), or bombarded by comments associating with my 'geekism'. My friends that know I am an active computer geek does me no harm, if anything they feel a little jealous! However, I do feel as though I cannot be intelligent, the least bit compassionate towards others, or overall active in academic perseedings. People do some mean shit ( me included ) to their peers, its almost a sport. I do feel boxed in with my emotions. People in highschool can't show the least amount of compassion for another person without being ridiculed. It's almost as if us guys are groomed into being emotionally-num drones, whether it be the public, or the crackhead media. Don't even get me started on the word 'humane'! Anyway, thats my rant ( better leave room for someone else! ).
