<cough, cough> I'm a girl. I like physics (though I confess I suck at bio and never had any real opportunity to take chem), I'm a math major, I was *almost* a history major (military history!) and as for linguistics, well, I'm here. If you think *you* have it bad, I get the "you're too abnormal to be believed" treatment from most other women and from a good many men. YHL
