Today I started my technology commercialization class. It is a pretty neat concept for a class. We work in teams to evaluate technology, and develop a marketing plan. There are only 2 girls in the entire class. In my group, it is me and 4 guys: my friend Dave, and 3 phd + people. Therefore I am the youngest person in my group by at least 5 years. And I am the least experienced/educated. Damn, do I feel inadequate. But my faculty advisor, Dr. Bagalay, is pretty cool. He has a law degree, but does marketing and tech. comm. stuff now. It is nice to know there is life after legal practice.

The rest of my profs for the class (there are 6 in total) are kinda goofy older guys. They tell “dad jokes” and are completely amused by them. They are really smart though (if you’ve ever had a truly dumb professor, you will understand why this is good.) but not too smart to explain stuff to us in common language. Hopefully I will learn a LOT from this class, as it will definitely help me in the future.
