Tonight, I went to two advising events, one for Peer Advisors and the other for the Big/Little Sister system in Women in Computer Science (WICS). At the first event, I ended up getting more advice than I gave. I talked to Norm, who had encouraging things to say about Fluid Dynamics (which we’re starting with in my independent study), and Max Mintz (the professor who taught the class voted “Most Difficult Course at Penn” several years running), who had some very cool things to say about Math and the useless way it’s presented at most universities.
The second event was at a great Thai restaurant two blocks from my dorm that I didn’t know existed. My little sister Becky and I proposed a Mirrormask event, and we’re crossing our fingers that they choose it over Chicken Little. I also managed to plug Wonderfalls and Firefly to a fair-sized group, with what looks to be great results! Then I lent the DVD sets to Becky, mwaha! She had something of a geekgasm when she saw all my posters. :D She’s a big Gaiman and Pratchett fan, so we will get along swimmingly.
