And by the way, it's kind of hilarious because I was like dressed in very, very conservative Muslim garb.

I wasn't even just in a hijab.

I was in the full.

So I wasn't just in the head covering.

I was in the full jilbab, which is like that full cloak.

By the way, not that there's anything wrong with dressing however you want.

I'm like, man, you just be you, you know.

There were a few girls in hijab actually, but they were interested in more medical genetics.

They weren't kind of doing what I was covertly up to.

I remember there was one girl who was also kind of vaguely associated with my world kind of thing.

Yeah.

And she was there and I was so excited because I thought I'd found like a partner in her.

I was like, oh my God.

And I was sitting there and I was like, right, so this bit of the theory, like I'm just thinking that actually there's a different interpretation that you can have for this data, blah, blah, blah.

And she just freaked out and she looked at me and she was just like, look, I'm here because this is a mandatory course.

I have to pass this evolution class.

Otherwise, I don't get my degree.

So there's like two things going on, right?

So I'm just living my life being a missionary.

I have an arranged marriage.
