i think we had overwhelmingly positive experiences approaching departments on wednesday.
the campus ministry woman,
the black studies department,
the math resource center.
everyone was pretty much thrilled to be able to tell us what they do, because i think maybe it's rare that fifteen people walk in looking for information in an obscure basement meditation center or a tucked-away room packed with mathematics periodicals.
sylvia in the math room was particularly inspiring, and i think it'd be neat to do a project examining the crazy reprogramming of her brain that enabled her to miraculously do math to the extent she's now capable of. seeing her masters project, seeing the triangular-hexagonal-golden mean thing she built- this woman should be commissioned to do a math-inspired public sculpture or something. i also liked the idea of having a "former-bad-experiences-in-math" support group.
sylvia was definitely the highlight of my day, even though she did freak me out with all her talk about the fourth dimension.
