Gleeeeeee! I met no Alan Cumming or Billy Boyd soundalikes, but I did meet a lot of kindred spirits. I met a representative from The Dining Philosophers, a computer science club that (among many other things) offers Linux classes to make the transition to Sophomore compsci easier (and I’ve always wanted to learn Linux and Unix), and their first meeting is a Movie Night, which will most likely be Spaceballs. And the DMD students are invited to join Penn’s chapter of SIGGRAPH, and that’s just beyond cool. And apparently, DMD students are in significantly more demand than the other Engineering students, which is saying a LOT.

People make computer jokes! I am surrounded by Nerd-Savvy! Hurrah for Engineering and DMD! *prances* The only downside is that as a female in computer science, I am hit on shamelessly. Wah. One of said students made a joke about the professor’s accents, and I mentioned my fondness for accents, and he was like, “I’m told that I have a really strong New York accent. Does that qualify?” and I was just amused. It’s going to be a great four (or however many) years.
