The new teacher at my school today, upon finding out the name of my blog, called me exceptional. I'm not sure that I'm "OK" with being exceptional. I like being mediocre. I like the idea of surprising people about my mediocre-ness...and yet, I like surprising people with my abilities....like my exceptional ability to chop wood. Somehow, I'm not sure that's what Mr. Wild was talking about.
Any comments on the subject?

This is probably not what he meant, but I think that "exceptional" is the new word for um... kids in special ed. I had a student teacher friend, and she had to take classes for the "exceptional" child. I thought she meant smart, but she did not..
but that doesn't mean that you aren't "exceptionally" gifted. although i am not altogether sure about your wood chopping qualifications...
You can ask my former youth group girls about my wood chopping abilities. As for now, let's just hope that new teacher guy doesn't think that I'm "exceptional" in the "special ed" sense of the world.
