Re: I feel this needs to be said...
Matt,

As I perhaps am thought of as one of such "guilty parties" I would like to clear up this misunderstanding.

I don't think that people are trying to impress you in saying that they're failing classes etc. but rather to warn others to watch out for their mistakes. FIRST (at least in my mind) is really a family, and family always has each other's backs. When big brother or sister screws up, they make sure little brother or sister doesn't follow in their oops footsteps. And honestly, I think that's what is going on. We are trying to warn people that even we, (including DJ who many think of as "supermentor" or "god") couldn't handle some of this... We couldn't pull it off. I think that we're trying to give real life examples to try to make people think again.

I'm pretty sure that no one in this program would brag about poor scholastic performance. This is the "Superbowl of Smarts" afterall!
