Brad Wright tagged me to give five odd facts about myself that most people would not know.
5) I got into my college by virtue of an athletic admission slot. My high school grades were not particularly good and my SAT scores were pathetic. But I was pretty good at running into other human beings as hard as I could (who said football has no academic value?).
4) I was once an elementary education major. I dropped out of the program because: a) my grades weren't good enough to be certified by the school, and b) I couldn't figure out how to do a bulletin board.
3) Despite my training as an ethnographer, my first real job was as a Research Associate at ICPSR where I played with statistical software all day long (all hail Stata). [For the record, as some of my old co-workers will tell you, I wasn't terribly good at that job.]
2) In college, I spent 3 summers working at camps for people with physical and mental disabilities. Two summers in Ohio and another in California.
1) I failed my first Sociology class.
Janet, you're next.

Ohio, of all places? How did you end up there?
My niece is looking for a camp job next summer, lives in Indiana. Would you recommend the Ohio place?
It depends on how religious she is. The Ohio place is very religious (bordering on Fundamentalist).
Working conditions were much better at the Easter Seals Camp in California.
You should have listed that as a thing noone would expect about you...that you worked in a FUNdamentalist camp.
(or the fact that you worked for $100 a week!)
