getting started...about me.
2007-02-19
Hi -- I'm Kristin. I had/have a blog on myspace but I'm giving it up for various reasons which I will not enumerate. Now I'm starting over on ShoutPost, and I already miss being able to plug in music files!
A little about me... I'm 30 and (legally) married to Jan Erik. We've been together for almost 7 years, and have lived together for most of that time. We have two cats, and they are very spoiled little felines! We are currently planning our religious wedding ceremony, which will occur in Denmark this coming June. I will post more about this later.
I have a Ph.D. in developmental psychology, and am currently employed as a Postdoctoral Fellow (otherwise known as a data monkey) at a large university in Pennsylvania. I do research, day in and day out. It's okay, but I don't want to do nothing but research for the rest of my life. I also taught during grad school, which was sometimes fun and sometimes not so much fun at all. For example, I enjoyed teaching a section of Intro to Psychology one summer because my class was mostly international students; however, I did not enjoy TA'ing Intro the following autumn, when my class was full of graduating seniors who thought they knew more than me simply because I look(ed) young. I will be going back "on the market" in the autumn, and anticipate blogging about the joy that is the academic job search.
