1. How old were you when you decided to go into your current line of study?

I was 24 when I finally decided on geology as a major, and 39 when I enrolled in a PhD program focusing on an aspect of geology I’d never yet studied.

2. When was the first time you lived over-seas?

I was 10 months old (I think) when we moved to Japan.

3. What are your current goals?

Pay off my student loans. Do as good of a job as I can with my current post-doc position. Publish some of my PhD research. Find an interesting postdoc (or teaching position?) someplace mountainous for my next move. Find more time for sewing and get my SCA wardrobe to the point of being able to say with a straight face “why, yes, I do have a laurel in hand-sewing and embroidery, why do you ask?”

4. How do you manage SCA and Uni work all at the same time?

It was much, much easier as an undergrad—so much less that needs to be done (I never needed to study much, having a good memory and good test-taking skills, so it was just assignments to worry about, and most of them got done during weekdays). I still manage some SCA because uni work can be done at times of my own choosing, usually. So I can juggle my schedule as I see fit, so long as I get it all in.

5. Is there a special person or persons without whom your life would feel less enjoyable?

I think all of my friends and loved ones fall into that category to some extent. However, most of them live far from me, so while hearing from them brings me joy, I don’t always *notice* when it has been a while since I’ve heard from one of them, if I’ve been busy and have been hearing from others.
