I was tagged by Summer
with a meme! I’ve noticed that not
nearly as many memes circulate as they used to, but I still think they’re fun
every once in a while. Great for the end
of the week especially. This is a nice short one.
5 Things About Me
- Even
though I’m half Hispanic I am very fair (it’s the Irish side). I LOVE to sport a light tan in the summer
(real or not) but every time I sit out in the sun I secretly worry that
for every oh-so-light shade of tan I build I’m also creating another grey
hair somewhere on my body. There’s
only so much melanin to go around. - I am a
tea junkie. - I
totally believe in ghosts. (discuss) - Every
time I fill out a survey or form that asks for “highest level of education
completed” I feel bad about not finishing my MA. The rest of the time I feel fine about
it. - I’m a
sucker for small pretty things, such as marbles, shells, and rocks. I think this also partly explains why I
make jewelry even though I don’t wear it a lot.
I now tag Andrea,
Hannah, Lori (to get back in your
blogging groove), Jason, and Jennifer to continue the fine meme
tradition. Have go! – wg
I’m down with ghosts if they can promise me they’re nice.
Would you believe I’ve never been tagged for a meme before? Or for anything? I feel like I finally got picked first in gym class, or something.
Thanks!
I believe in ghosts too.
Is that odd?
Hey, I didn’t know you tagged me!! Shit. I better get on it. And you registered for BlogHer 08, so now I am even more bummed about not going (although I am still holding out hope that I can convince my husband that another $1500 for me is justified!!)
I didn’t get my MA, either. I failed the only specifically required course–Theory of Literary Criticism–after completing my first, and last year of grad school. But under the circumstances (way too complicated to describe here), at that time, there was no way I could have passed it.
And since I’ve begun what may turn out to be a career now, in a totally different field, it no longer matters.
I remember a line from “The Natural”. Glenn Close’s character says you have two lives–the one you live with, and the one you learn with. And as you know, learning is by no means confined to textbooks.
