sakky: I would love the "Fixing Every-Day Technology to Prove That You Actually Went to MIT" class.

I've rarely encountered the person who had no idea what MIT was, but it did happen just a few hours ago.

Me: "I just graduated from MIT."
Her: "Oh, interesting! So are you going into fashion?" (Apparently she was thinking of FIT- the Fashion Institute of Technology.)
Me: "Um, no, mechanical engineering..."

That was an interesting twist on the conversation, and an even more interesting look on her face when she realized just how far off she had been...it's a long way from designing clothes to designing cars. =)
