Essay Questions (I)
So how's life been treating you?
Well, I'm finally--at least more or less--out of school. I got married this year (June 19) and aside from a long-ish commute I'm settling into my new job at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento. It's a long story, but those are pretty much the high points.
Are you the same person you were in high school?
I haven't changed much in appearance, but I've gotten more confident and much more tired. I think back to all the classes, clubs, theatre, audio/visual stuff, etc. I did in high school, and don't know how I managed to stay awake!

Describe the most interesting place you've ever lived:
When Andy and I were dating (VERY long distance) I convinced my school to send me to the East Coast for one of my rotations. I lived with Andy (gasp!) in Narragansett, Rhode Island and worked in Fall River, Massachusetts. Very different from the West Coast, but very interesting.
What's your favorite place to visit?:
There are too many. Boston, Mass, Carmel/Monterey/Pacific Grove, CA and San Luis Obispo, CA pretty much top the list.

I'm not good at keeping in touch with people. Time just flies by, and then by the time I try to reach someone, they've moved.

Essay Questions (III)
Tell us something surprising:
I bet nobody would've guessed I'd become a drug dealer/pusher. OK, so it's legal and I had to go to school forever to do it, but how about this... Ken Traum wasn't the only one in the band who could belch the alphabet. :)
Most interesting thing you've ever done:
Worked on the Cal Poly Rose Float for the New Years' Day Parade. Welding, grinding, grease, hydraulics, taking engines apart and putting them back together, plus decorating--all good clean fun! Plus, that's where I met my husband...
What will you be doing this New Years' Eve?
I'll probably be decorating the float, out on a dark street in Pasadena waiting for the electricity to come back on.

Last Words
In the yearbook, you predicted this for your future:
Hopefully I'll go to Stanford. If not, I'll be at Cal Poly. I'm going to be a research scientist in chemistry and cure everything.
Which parts were correct (or wrong)?
Well, I didn't go to Stanford but I did go to Cal Poly, SLO--a much better education for a lot less money--and got a B.S. degree in Chemistry. I became a pharmacist and worked on a master's degree (in which I was working on curing breast cancer) which burned me out. I still have the option to go back and finish it; meanwhile, I'm helping to cure people using existing medications. Really, my work world actually does revolve around drugs--the legal kind.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Still a pharmacist, probably still trying to get up some momentum to go finish the master's degree.
In 20 years?
Ummm....I'll let you know when I figure it out.
Your tombstone epitaph:
I was hoping Daniel would write something witty for me. I know this leaves a lot of leeway, but he was always the "creative" one.
How many answers on this page are lies?
None
Anything else you'd like to tell us?
I've been wondering what everyone has been up to--I've been in school pretty much ever since high school (yes, that is as bad as it looks) and the years have just whipped by. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!
