Theophany All Over: I am Sybil

I am Sybil

I knew it! Twelve parents in thirty minutes! It's now ten minutes past the official end of classroom visits, and my last parent just walked out.

Which means of course, I'll be doing the same shortly. Woo!

**Edit**
Sybil?? I totally meant Cassandra. Why did I say Sybil??

And even Cassandra isn't a nice thing to compare myself too. She was cursed to be a prophet who always spoke truth but was never believed. Not my situation. At all.

I'm a dummy, basically.

About (Long Version)

I'm in the throes of Ph.D. studies, an experience I'm loving and for which I'm deeply grateful. The downside is that other things I care about get pushed aside. This is my attempt to create space for those things, which include: education, photography, geeky things, amateur enthusiasm about science, shenanigans, adventures, occasional navel gazing, un-ironic enthusiasm about just about everything, and non-academic writing about all those.

Forced once in a bar to answer the question, "No, but really, on a scale of 1 to 10, how Catholic are you?", I said 10. If you're wondering what that even means, so am I. Anyway, that Catholicy stuff's everywhere.

This is a non-anonymous, search-engine-anti-optimized blog. It's not secret or private, so share away! I use first names, initials, or pseudonyms for myself, family and friends, and my institutions so this blog doesn't come up in searches about those people and things.
