This is such a great thread. It's really interesting to see if there is a connection of how many people met through school. FYI: Even though DH went to schools in different states, we met through a co-ed honors fraternity, Phi Sigma Pi, and met through a road trip at Virginia Tech after we graduated.

Wow everyone is so well educated. I feel like I should go back and get some more education.

And even at the same time for part of the time. We lived in West Des Moines from 1992-1995. :)

[egoldber]

LOL! Yes, I remember the Klugmans well.

I taught there the summers of '91 and '92, as a way to earn extra money as a grad student. (I got my MS in Statistics at ISU.) I don't think you would have taken what I taught, it was the Introductory Business Statistics class offered at night. Everyone hated the class as a rule and even worse it was from 7-10 pm!!! We were all exhausted afterwards.

And it's so funny, since you live close to my brother and his wife, who are actuaries in the Chicago area.

Small world. :)

[zen_bliss]

what a fun thread idea! i bet a lot of good connections are being made off-boards!!

stillplayswithbarbies, i HAVE heard of waynesburg! PA has so many nifty colleges -- IUP, gannon, slippery rock...

I figured that you had been to W&L a few times, Neve (or had W&L guys drive up to Hollins). Hollins girls seemed to be all the rage among the undergrad guys. The law school is removed from the frat parties and such, but I was good friends with a W&L alum who was a Sigma Nu and who talked about the various girls' schools in the area. Even though there are women at W&L now, from what I understand, the surrounding girls' schools are still quite popular. There were still homecoming queen candidates from some of the girls' schools when I was there. The law school went co-ed in the mid-1970s, so it was a bit ahead of the undergrad campus. I'm not sure what years you were there, but you didn't happen to know Mike Gray, did you? He graduated in 1992.

I didn't realize that your brother and his wife were actuaries - what's their last name and where do they work??

[jenmcadams]

Good to see another person from the claremont colleges...congrats on finishing up. I got my BA in Biology and Math and took a great Physics class at Pomona (is that an oxymoron - great physics class? :)).

[Vajrastorm]

LOL - yes, he has said that to me :)

[Vajrastorm]

Thanks. Finishing was rather a beast - I only had one year left, and commuted to Claremont from San Diego. Writing a thesis while making a 4 hr round trip to go to classes is NOT my idea of fun, but it felt great to finally tie up that loose end.

I was a Religious Studies major, and the RS program became a cross-campus program, so the only school I didn't take any classes at was Mudd.

Incidently, my mother went to Scripps and my father to CMC, which is how they met.

[brubeck]

Well if there are any Canadians out there I'll try to bring them in.

I did my undergrad at Queen's University (Ontario, Canada) and my grad work at UC Berkeley (where I met my hubby!).

[parkersmama]

Wow! My brother and SIL went to Sewanee and graduated him in 1995 and her in 1996. I guess he was a freshman when you were a senior. It's a pretty small school though so you might have know him...Jefferson Parker. My SIL maiden name is Trubey and she had an older sister there that graduated in '92, I believe. We *love* Sewanee and go there to visit as often as possible even though I didn't attend there.

I went to a big very athletic PUBLIC High School in Fairfax Virignia we won The state Football Championship and it just seemed so "co-ed" so it was a huge difference at Hollins I was not used to all of that like you might have been. I loved hollins so much though, we had some great traditions (as I am sure you did) and I had classes where there were just two of us and we were always taught by our profs no aids...

I just saw the thread about sororities we didn't have them at Hollins but I'm sure you'd agree we all felt like one big sorority...

Andrie,

A fellow Religion major! I did undergrad at UCLA and grad (Master's) at Harvard. Planning to return for PhD when the baby is older.

How did you like the program at Claremont?

He's not really a Buckeye (EWWWWWW!) -- that would NEVER happen! :)

DH is a Nittany Lion (much better) who landed in Buckeye country for grad school -- they made the best offer.

You're not alone. DH attended UVA from 1998-presently as a doctoral student. I miss C'ville immensely!

oh but you are so wrong!!! Not only have I heard of Maine-I live right here in Lewiston. I know poor me, right? I met my husband on a ski trip in the Alps. He was born and raised here. I moved here from NYC 3 years ago. We put our house on the market last week. Finally. We are moving closer to civilization-Portland, that is...

Barbara-mom to Jack 3/27/03

[suzska]

I've heard of Waynesburg!

And for the record...

Me:
Carnegie Mellon University, December 1991 (I also "took time off." A nice little "dean's vacation" shall we say. Or I would have graduated in May 1990. I started out in engineering, which didn't go so well for me.)
B.S. in Industrial Management/Graphic Communications Management (Business degree with a concentration in printing/publishing industry) with a minor in Visual Communications (Graphic Design)

DH:
Carnegie Mellon University, December 1997, I believe (he changed majors a few times, or it would have been May 1995. I believe he also started in engineering, then became an Organ major for one year. You know, music, but decided there was no future in it for him. I have heard him play the piano, but have yet to hear him play the organ!)
B.S. in Applied Math/Computer Science

We met in Spring 1991 when DH came back to go to grad school for a M.A. in Professional Writing (he's 3 classes short and will never finish).

[westgre]

Susan, I grew up in Parkersburg, WV!

BS, Biology, Marietta College (OH), 1992, Sigma Kappa

Great thread but I can't believe I'm the only Boiler around here -- why did everyone that came to IN go north to ND???

Me: BS Purdue University 1998

DH: BBA National University (I think--it's one of the cc's in San Diego) 1993?
JD Chase College of Law, Northern KY Univ. 1998

No, we didn't meet in college and I went for the older man with the "worldly experiences" :) (nine years in the Navy!)

[newbelly2002]

I KNEW we were on the same wavelength for a reason!

I miss Maine so very much. The sea, the rocks, and the seafood shacks. Ohhh there's nothing else quite like them.

Are you from New England orginally?

I miss Maine so much too, I can hardly wait for my 10 year reunion and it's a whole year away. I'm from Baltimore (where I live now) so ending up in Maine was pure luck- my little brother is off to spend 8 weeks in ME this summer, I'm so jealous!

I can't believe it--I almost went blind reading 100 + posts before ONE person had U of MD, College Park--my alma mater. I finished my BS there in 93 and it STILL didn't prepare me for stroller shopping!!! LOL}>

Hey~ some Texas grads! It took a lot of reading to find you all! ;)

Me: BS- Applied Gerontology, Univ. of North Texas

DH: BS- Petroleum Engineering (the program's final graduate ever) from Stanford

Where are you living now, Katie?

[justlearning]

Naty,

I noticed you're ABD and planning on completing your PhD this fall--me too! Maybe we could provide encouragement (perhaps accountability as well) as we both try to achieve this goal while being a new mom.

I'd be interested in hearing more about your situation and any tips on juggling motherhood with your education. The same goes for anyone else who is experiencing or has experienced this--I need all the help I can get!!

[cilantromapuche]

me:
BA, Brigham Young University, 97
MLS, SUNY at Buffalo, 99

DH:
BS, BYU, 98
MS, SUNY at Buffalo, 02

He followed me around!

[natividad]

I hear ya!!! Hang in there! I find it extremely difficult to balance motherhood and this dissertation at the same time, but we wanted to start a family and I have no regarets whatsoever. We figured, even if I had to take some time off from the dissertation, having our baby was more important. At some point I know I will get this done. Writing my dissertation from DC is not as hard as I thought it would though. I am in constant communication with my committee and I travel to Pittsburgh often. But of course, reality is that I have not gotten much done since our angel arrived and thus I might have to push back my date of completion...sigh. The only tip that I have is what I have been told millions of times - even by my dissertation chair: keep it short and simple (KISS). My research methods involve a lot of qualitative data and I am trying very hard to stay focused. We can always save the rest for future publications, right? :-)

Edited to correct spelling.

HTH a little,
Naty

[phirey]

Wow! What a smart group!

I didn't see any other Emorrhoids :-) here, so I figured I'd post:

Me: BA, Emory University, 1992: International Relations
MMSc, Emory University School of Medicine Physician Assistant Program, 2002: PA-C

(graduated from PA school four weeks to the day after DD was born by C-section -- only missed 4 days of class TYVM!!! :-) )

DH: Currently in the BSN program at Kennesaw State Univ., GA
(and I saw another post -- also a darn fine Paramedic!)

[fhernandez]

Finally, I spent forever looking for a fellow Hoo. Not only that--we were undergrad around the same time!

Me: BA, Psychology, University of Virginia 1991

DH: BS, Oceanography/Engineering, United States Naval Academy 1993

Naty,

Wow! It sounds like we're in a similar situation in many ways. I also am trying to complete my dissertation long-distance, although I'm farther away from my committee than you are (I live in Kansas now and they're at Arizona State) and unfortunately not in constant contact. I also am using qualitative methods for my dissertation, so I understand how difficult it can be to stay focused and not do too much with the data or continue to want to collect more data. (I'm also struggling because I happen to be much worse at qualitative research than quantitative--I went the qualitative route due to the research questions I was asking.)

If you want to email me directly, maybe we could talk about ways to help encourage each other and keep each other accountable in reaching our goals. I'd be very interested in hearing your specific strategies for trying to work on your dissertation while being a mom. FWIW, here's the link to a question I posted last month soliciting advice: http://www.windsorpeak.com/dcforum/DCForumID30/1545.html

Thanks for your response. It's fun to realize how much we moms on this board have in common.
