Danielle Shalet:  

Life As one can see by my college bio I am currently doing my PhD at Kent University in England. I have, pretty much been, indoctrinated into English society(with the help of a few very good friends). I spend most of my time writing up my thesis and writing conference papers. I spend my spare time playing squash and basketball, and practising karate, kendo and kung fu. I have been in a four year relationship with a wonderful man, and we are pretty much together. I am also working for the DSU at Kent University as an Educational Support Assistant, and I will begin to teach classes next term. If anything more interesting happens I will keep you posted, but to be honest the only interesting thing that has happened so far is...more research, more research, a little writing, and well..more research...I take it that whomever is reading this has noted the sarcasm and perhaps has caught onto the fact that I am feeling, well to put it bluntly, rather apathetic about spending the majority of my life in school; however this is the path I have chosen therefore I must take the good with the bad. The good being that I will beable to put a DR in front of my name when I have completed my work (terrific) and the bad, well, the more I delve into my subject matter and spend time with others like me (weirdos and the like) the more I realise that I am slowly detaching from reality. I am finding it difficult to see the positives in this and I am wondering if the positives actually out weigh the negatives, but there is something slightly appealing about becoming a mad professor and since I am on the right track, I think I will, as they say in England, "get on with it". School All I can say is that I enjoyed high school, I met some really good people, and a few wonderful teachers that I will never forget:) There is however,one thing I will not miss about high school, and that was being a teenager, that was tough. -And my school days before high school, well my memory went a bit when I reached my mid-twenties, and I can't remember that far back. I think that I may have to change the "mid-twenties" to "late twenties" now, sadly, but the good news is that all of us are in our late twenties now, so I can share the pain. College Well I had actually thought that I wrote something in my bio..but strangely it has disappeared, or I may be getting senile in my old age. (I am obviously going senile) Anyway...I have said I was going to update this so here goes. After going over to England as an exchange student in 1998, I liked it so muc...Expand for more
