The nerd is strong in this one

Still pregnant. I’m 36 weeks today.

This was last week...I'm too gross and sick to take a pic today

I have a cold that wont go away. So naturally, instead of catching up on 3 weeks worth of study I’m posting a blog. Might just put on one of my lectures so I can multitask. Today’s blog will be written to the soundtrack of: Sets and Relations (discrete maths). My brain is weird that it needs to do two things to study. Usually, I have to listen to a TV show to maximise my study. I do not recommend this as a study tip unless your brain is like mine. I’ve been watching One Born Every Minute or Mythbusters while I study. Last semester it was Sherlock and Supernatural. I love maths. I was that odd psychology student who preferred the statistics subjects. Except at 8am on a Monday morning, nobody wants to do stats that early.

I follow a few Girl Gamer and Geek girl pages on Facebook and a lot of times they will talk about the “OMG FAKE GEEK”, “GET ME A SANDWICH, B*TCH”, etc type hatred towards girls with a nerdy inclinations. Am I nerdy and geeky because I want to snag a ahem, charming gamer partner? No. I am married to a geek – socially awkward, full of lore, and a little obsessed with his favourite games. But, I don’t think he’d be game enough to demand a sandwich…Partly, because he’s a decent man and knows how to treat people with respect. And partly because…I’m smarter when it comes to networking and general computer nerd stuff. Yeah, don’t piss off the person in control of the Internet connection.

I’ve been a nerd for a long time now. And it’s never been about getting male attention. It started with books for me. They were my gateway to the wonderful world of nerd. My mum told us about the many times I’d run off to the book section of the supermarket, plonk myself down, and read. The whole time my mum’s frantically trying to find me. My sister was still a bub so I would have been about 4-5 years old. At that age I believed boys had cooties.

Well, I should get back to my logic laws and sets. Wish me luck
