We Are SCILS598f08 (sung to the tune of "we are family")

It was a very interesting study of our school and personal lives to review the Flickr groups. What I discovered was...

We are a very mixed bag of grad students when it comes to how we are completing this program. Some on-campus day students, some on-campus night students, one that this is their first "only online" class, a few strictly online students... really no clear "winner" in this category. I think that speaks to the outstanding nature of this program that 20 people seeking the exact same degree are able to complete it in such a variety of ways. I feel like Rutgers is on the leading edge of education with this model, and am quite happy to be a part of it. After viewing the pictures of the "chairs of death" I am especially happy for my comfy, ergonomically correct, rolling wonder in my basement! I also learned we all have the same books at home :)

Personally, we all seem to be focused on many of the same things; our families, pets, outdoor enjoyment, books, and travels. We have a couple of oddball hobbies (not that the hobbies are odd, but that each one is not universally represented...) and more than a few caffeine addicts - but I think that goes hand in hand with grad school! I think we are a pretty interesting bunch, I would like to meet us!

PS - There are definitely a few very good photographers here as well (not me though - I am happy if people all have heads in my photos...).
