geekgirlsI was telling some old friends a funny story about an IP header, when I realized that they had no idea what I was talking about and frankly weren't interested.
I certainly can't hold that against them. It wasn't a very good story if you don't have a working familiarity with network protocols. I was surprised at myself for not thinking of that beforehand.
As the surprise faded, it came to my attention that I'm lonely. I have female friends and I have hardcore computer geek friends, but those sets do not intersect.
I never thought it would matter if all my geeky friends were guys, but I'm discovering that it does. The problem is, there just aren't a lot of girls in my field. In many of my classes I'm the only one.
Anyone else have this type of problem? I could use some commiseration.
(Ideas are welcome, too, but my schedule is so busy right now that I just don't have time for sensible measures such as joining clubs. I'm putting myself behind schedule just writing this entry. >_< I'm hoping a little venting will tide me over until exam season ends.)
