You might be an SMU engineering major...

* if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.

* if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.

* if you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.

* if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.

* if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.

* if you think in "math." * if you have a pet named after a scientist.

* if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.

* if the Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.

* if you can translate English into Binary.

* if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says "Exit."

* If you are completely addicted to caffeine. * if you consider ANY non-science course "easy."

* if when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely,

that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.

* if the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.

* if you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.

* if you understood more than five of these indicators.

* if you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.

I was thinking about the mortgage/lending business, actually. ;) I hear there's a LOT of free time doing that!

Yeah, I'll be traveling to Houston to see the Rice game for Turkey Day weekend, I think.

Just out of curiosity: any bowl games near you? Maybe the Mustangs will make one!

don't have a clue, sorry -

outside of following smooo, i don't follow college football anymore -

kind of disillusioned with the whole thing since they started the bcs-bs super conference -

but yes, if they were invited somewhere, i'd probably be there & then we could finally meet -

baseball is in the cards in our family -

our 12 yr old son - chase - lives & breathes it here in southern california -

he plays year-round -

let's stay in touch though!

Top 10 reasons to date an engineer

10. They are used to all nighters
9. They are always willing to experiment
8. They know how to decrease and increase friction
7. They know all about heat transfer
6. They do it with more torque
5. Engineering couples have better moments
4. They know how to deal with stress and strain
3. They know how to test their rigid cantilevers
2. "Lubrication, friction, and wear" is really a class
1. They design and build larger erections

Don't forget the engineer's mantra: if it don't fit, force it.
