FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why didn’t you post my submission?
Either because it was a duplicate, not really about engineering school, was mean-spirited about other engineers, generally offensive, trollbait, promotes/glorifies academic dishonesty, or was not really accurate to engineering school. If your post is none of these things just wait a little while, I add posts to the queue as I receive them.
- Why didn’t you answer my question?
If it was along the lines of “I love your blog!”, while I really appreciate it and definitely read all your questions, I don’t have the time to answer them all individually. Thank you for your support! If it was something else, I either didn’t understand what you were trying to ask me or did not deem it appropriate to answer.
- What happened to X post?
I tend to delete non-meme posts after a few hours or days because they aren’t really relevant to the blog. If it contained important information, it will be reiterated here or in the submission guidelines.
- Do you know X about Y school?
Unless it’s something about George Washington University (where I went for undergrad) or UMBC (where I’m working on my Masters), probably not.
- Are you a chick or a dude and what are you attracted to?
I’m a chick who likes dudes.
- What are you studying?
Computer science. Since CS is in the engineering school at both my undergraduate and graduate institutions, I ran the full engineering school gauntlet. I also consider it an engineering discipline (despite the name) because computer scientists build systems that can potentially kill people if they fail. /rambling
- What kind of engineer are you?
I guess that makes me a software engineer.
- Why a bat?
I wanted to pick something that had huge eyes and an “oh god” expression a lot of the time. I was torn between a bush baby, aye-aye, slow loris, and a fruit bat, but I ended up going with the fruit bat since the pictures that had the best “oh god” expression were of fruit bats. They are also adorable, misunderstood, and often nocturnal.
