You know the really great part? You sort of touched on this, but... It's not because you're smart that we love you. In a place like CMU where that's pretty much a given, other rarer qualities become more important, like empathy, the capability to see people both for who they are and who they wish they were (and to tell the difference), and the bravery to make yourself just a little bit vulnerable when there's a good reason to do so. All these things you have, and then some. That's a pretty long way from a prideful, mistrustful middle-schooler, don't you think? :)
My intent was the former, not the latter, as I thought was pretty clear from my saying that being smart is pretty much a given.
Also, I am apparently misreading your "perhaps it's not for you" comment, because that sounds an awful lot like an attempted insult, which I feel is most likely not what was intended.

Or we just love nerds.
Or both.
Have I shown you your Student Wars card yet? (You also have one with cpride)

Where "we" refers to all the people you know, since I don't think I'm one of the "brilliant, willing, etc" people you were referring to :)
I felt the same way a lot back at CMU. All of these crazy smart people, ahhhhh. But they're all really nice too. (Much like you, in fact.)

Like Alan said, it's because you're awesome.

We'll make it misunderstandings all around, then?
