&7¨ Education and Employment  :.ÍK

    I sometimes wish that these two pages were indeed separate.  But I also find it reassuring that my education has been continual...and that my employment has afforded me the chance to further my ever increasing desire for knowledge. 

    I remember sitting, curled up in my bedroom, later in my dorm room, wondering, much like some Julie Andrews musical: "¯Will I be pretty?  Will I be rich?" and only knowing that "Whatever will be, will be¯"  But always knowing that I could only exist in the realm what I knew, that I could, quite happily live the rest of my life as a student.  So for what it's worth, these are the educational institutions which have sustained me:
