one of these is not like the other...

Sometimes when I really try to understand racial tensions in this country, and I mean really understand, like on a micro level, I try to imagine how must feel to be the only black person in a room full of white people. Probably somewhat intimidating, probably somewhat jarring. Luckily I do not have to try too hard to understand this feeling--I've gotten pretty used to it myself.

Right now I am the only lady in a lecture room full of a couple dozen people. Really, gals? Am I the only one who finds conservation laws of nonlinear PDEs to be interesting?!

Oh yey! Another lady came in late! Talk is starting...got to go...
