side note

sometimes i wish i had just studied engineering.  i was definitely smart enough to do it.  think about it-- all that unfettered access to geeky, intelligent dudes (though I'm already dating the best geeky intelligent dude there is to know, I suppose)  but more importantly, everybody I know who is an engineer graduates from college and immediately starts becoming rich.  why didn't anybody tell me that this would one day be important? 

i don't really mean this.  i'm just saying.
