I wouldn't say you're average. Heck, I wouldn't say anyone on this board is average. From buri's obsession with prunes (which hasn't been mentioned for a while it seems), to Bram's obsession with rare concerto's, to Sydney's obsession with getting Joshua Bell on Oprah, everyone on this board is no-where near average.
It's great to know who you are, but I definately wouldn't say you're average.

Ahhhhhh! When will it end?! When Joshua Bell is on Oprah, of course ;-)
Any chance that you could come to the Verbier Festival Acadamy next year? It's extensively chamber music (something I need to brush up on) and will the prima coaches (including Hilary Hahn!) not to mention all the swell concerts (too many to list, but Ilya Gringolts, Hahn, Bell, Soumm, Isserlis, Vengrov...) and beautiful location (Switzerland). It's 900 Swiss moneys (haha, I don't know) plus a plane ticket, but WOW! Zowiee! I wanna go so bad!!!

PS - I agree with Ben. Nobody on this board is average. Especially not you!

Your dad is right. Latin will serve you well. (I studied it, and as a result it took me less than 2 years to become fluent in Spanish, and I can usually get the gist of something written in French or Italian even though I've never studied them.) What's the name of the correspondence course? Dunno if it'll still be around by the time my daughters are your age, but I'm collecting data. :)

algebra is magical... dont diss it.

Magical? Algebra? Not the way my teacher teaches it.
Natasha- You left out cooking chocolate muffins as a course. That should be worth 3 credits.

Ah, right you are Linda. Then consuming muffins should be six credits. Monthly.
