Wow. You're very cool. Take a bow!
Thanks, Publius! I'm not sure what was 'cool' on that list, but I appreciate it! Can you guess which other items are linked to #8?
It was either a problem with you returning to Alaska for the 2nd time, or the 1st two items on your list???
Wow--3 courses, exams, and pregnancy in the same semester?! Impressive. I cannot even imagine. :)
luckybuzz- yeah and #8 happened at the same time! (and my husband got a job offer across the country, etc..) It was a very 'exciting' year. At least everything worked out well! Now- if I could only get tenure!
OK, I sort of did #1, but I am biracial and married a White guy...does that count?
And I think I have been disowned by my brother.
You are right. I haven't done a single one of those things.
ss: That sucks about your brother. I always feel like it sounds worse about my dad than it really is. My parents have been divorced since I was 6, and I haven't lived in the same state as my dad since 1980, so it's not like he was someone in my daily life. He & I never agreed politically (although I could say the same about my ENTIRE family!) That's also funny about whether you can say you married outside your race (since you have two!)
Jogger: I'm glad that you were not pregnant during your PhD ;) Did you do a list on your blog? I'll have to check!
We have lots in common.
I have been to Alaska four times; I have lived in all the US time zones, GMT and GMT +2; I attended a LOVELY wedding in Mexico (Mexicans getting married); but have no kidlings.
