I am a National Merit Scholar entering my 4th year as an undergraduate physics student. I don't see myself as the smartest in my class by any stretch of the imagination. There are couple of students who are basically double majoring in math and or computer science too who blow my mind. Likewise with some of the faculty. Having a 3rd year electricity and magnetism class taught by a string theorist who lectures completely out of his head tends to make many of us in the class feal insignifigant in comparison. I agree with The Sigil, while the world would throw most of us into the 17 or 18th bin, within out nerdy subset one can feel the differences to be great. Then I come home and try to explain to my normal friends a joke someone told in class and realize that no one outside of the physics communtity would understand it. The irony, every day in class I feel dumb, but then the weekend rolls around and my friends claim I am a genius.So here are my stats as near as I could figure:Str 11Dex 11Con 13Int 17.57 (rounds up to 18)Wis 9Cha 11</blockquote>
