Amusing Bit on Class Video (a.k.a. Being a Girl in Electrical Engineering)
| Male Prof: | Let's talk about branding. What is a brand? [Female Student], give me a brand and tell me what it means to you. |
|---|---|
| Female Student: | Uh... |
| Male Prof: | A brand. A brand. |
| Female Student: | Well, the first one that came to mind is "Always"... |
| Male Prof: | What is "Always"? What do they make? |
| Female Student: | Um, pads. |
| Male Prof: | ... |
| Male Prof: | Someone else, give me a brand. |

Morning Thoughts from “Ruffy, VI, AU”
- You know I’ve been doing too much research when I read “cbf” as “cerebral blood flow” regardless of context.
- If I plot the number of responses to my emails inviting speakers to the summer research seminars for undergrads vs. time, it will resemble a Poisson distribution—with many no’s in the first couple of days, then a scatter of no’s, with finally a few intermittent yeses after much nagging.
- Some bum did something naughty to Facebook and matched my current area’s IP address to “Ruffy, VI, AU”. The boyfriend would approve… >_>
Lessons Learnt on This Trip
- The less time I have, the longer I have to wait for my visa.
- Count myself lucky that I’m stuck in my home city due to visa issues.
- At least I’m not Iranian.
- Missing an EE204 lecture requires up to 3 times as much work (time-wise) as attending it.
- Don’t plug my phone charger where I can’t see it, because I will leave it in my hotel room.
- Remember when I’m supposed to take my posters down, because I won’t find them in the big piles of posters on the floor the next morning.
- I don’t need a long woolen coat, despite what my mother thinks.
- Big-girl shoes (heels) hurt my feet.
- That quirky cool bar I’ve always wanted to visit? It’s now some crappy hip hop venue.
- It’s OK to fall asleep (discreetly) in an oral session—even the professors do it!
