Patricia's Story
Life
I continue to live in the city of my birth and to enjoy all that the area offers me. I have been shedding those things in my life that must be shed and encouraging those aspects that nourish my entire being. I love every minute that I am with my loved ones, even while doing the simplest things, because I know that people are what makes life worth living. While many things have changed about me, quite a few remain the same - hopefully the best things.
School
One night I had a dream that was so real I nearly believed it was happening. In it, I came to, standing in the bathroom of the house I lived in during high school.

I think a lot of us harbor dreams of going back and doing things differently, even if we like the position we are in now (and I do!) because the past is such a powerful, ephemeral, echoing thing. It calls to us. It helps shape who we are. I appreciate the joys and the people that I did have, and I always will.
College
I graduated with my Master's in English literature in June 2008. I took my comprehensive exam in American Literature 1865-1914, though I was sorely tempted by some other eras, as well.
Workplace
The last few years I've been doing research and writing and some teaching as well through a program at my school. I will start my teaching career in the Fall of 2008.
