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.
