lol--i think you can leave anonymous postings. it might have been fun trying to figure out who you were... my friend M did that awhile back. i'm going to add you as a friend now...is that ok? you're a friend, right? right? ;-)
thanx for your comments...stick around, i'm sure you'll get to hear all about what academia is and what i'm up to in it. ad nauseum, b/c it's a thrilling roller coaster ride. some days i love it, and some days i think it's stealing my soul, my body (my ass anyway, which would prefer to run more miles than my school schedule allows--lol), my heart, my youth (what's left of it, which they will have to pry from my dead hands someday), and...yep, my mind too. but it also pushes me and rewards me like nothing else i've ever tried before, so i'll keep doing it. i once said to my advisor back in vermont, "but if i continue on for a ph.d. i'll probably be 40 before i finish." and of course she said, "you're going to be 40 anyway, right? might as well be 40 with a ph.d. if that's what you want."
