Yes. Yes, I am. There's no shame in being a geek - I just like studying. So much so that I'll sometimes do extra if I have the time to.
To me, being a geek means having a very positive attitude towards one's studies. The typical stereotype is for a geek not to have any friends except other geeks, and to be excluded from activities besides studying. That is not the case with me. I am a geek, and yet, I am involved in a fair number of other activities, social or not.
I sincerely believe that being a geek is beneficial. It is much easier to learn properly and recall information if you are enthusiastic about studying. Yes, it's sometimes hard to cultivate this enthusiasm - especially if you're studying something like trigonometry (bleh!) - but with practice, I've found I can actually tell myself I like everything. In varying degrees, of course. This stimulates my brain and helps me study better, even for subjects I would normally detest (like trigonometry).
So, this girl? Proud to be a geek.
