Finally picked up my diploma. Sorta disappointed that trees, not sheep, died for this document… :)

2012 Retrospective #3 (finishing)

2012 Retrospective #3 (finishing)

The next installment on my 2012 Retrospective series:

Finishing my PhD meant the end of a lifetime school career.  With the exception of a few months between the births of my two kids, I was a student my entire adult life.  Until June 2012.

I’m still grappling with the loss of the “student” discounts for movies and museums and so many other things…

This resulted in an identity shift that’s much larger than putting aside the laminated student ID card that I carried in my wallet everyday.  Not being a student somehow means that I’m a grown-up now, in a way that I wasn’t before.  It gives a feeling of no longer being “in progress” but of having reached an endpoint of a journey.  There’s something in my soul that has had a hard time accepting that feeling and figuring out what’s next.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
