1. A short summary?

Ok, for lack of anyone else responding I guess I'll stick my neck out there...
I am hoping to attend reunion this May. I had hopped to get back for our 10 year, but I went to Ireland instead that year. (Limited travel budget and it was Ireland or Smith, I'd never been to Ireland so...) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing all the changes at Smith (20 years! How did that happen!) and hopefully getting to catch up with former classmates.
I thought it might be entertaining to give a short list of the things we've been up to in the last 20 years, or at least some of the highlights. For me that list, in semi-chronological order, goes like this:
Bought an ex-racehorse, considered a teaching career, ditched the teaching career and went back to grad school in Ecology, earned an MS while working for a small enviornmental non-profit, sold the horse, backpacked around Europe for 2 months, backpacked and hiked all over NM for work, became a small time landlord when I bought a duplex, rafted down the Grand Canyon, visited Japan, never did find 'the one' so decided to become a single mother, spent 2 years trying to get pregnant, got pregnant on last try at 40!, gave birth to twin boys Novemeber 2006, been getting no sleep since then, still working as an Ecologist for small non-profit, but considering a career change... And I think that hits most of the highlights.
Anyone else willing to give it a go...? |
