dchenesQuestions provided by Siercia :
1. What do plan to do with your graduate degree, once you've made it into and through school?
Take the American Translators Association accreditation exam, come back to Boston and (hopefully) get hired again. There are companies that specialize in translations. Otherwise, try to get freelance work from the French Library, or the Boston Language Institute.
2. Where would you have moved after college if you hadn't been friends with Liz and moved to Boston?
I'd probably still be in Boston, but I wouldn't know anybody.
3. What's your favorite thing to do in Boston?
That depends on the season. In the winter I like to go lose myself in bookstores on weekends. In more clement weather, I like to go walking around and figure out how various places connect up to places I know already.
4. Who would you most like to be stranded on a desert island with?
Ooh, tough one. If we're talking about somebody I could actually talk to, my Japanese History professor from college. If we're talking about "stranded on a desert island with a hot guy", I don't know.
5. What's one thing you've done that you wish you could take back?
In high school, somebody I was interested in dating asked me to go out with him. Every time before that, when somebody had asked me out, they had been kidding, so I didn't trust anybody. I wish I had said yes.

2. What's the most fun stitching project you've done?
I think Widget's baby sampler - because I picked all new colors and fabric and made it really my own. I lovedthat part of it, and then the piece itself stitched up so quickly and beautifully that I got nearly instantaneous rewards from it.
3. What's your favorite historical period, and would you want to live in it?
Urban America in the 1920's - the emerging modernity, the beginnings of the technological age, the evolving changes of family lives all hold fascination for me. I don't think I'd want tolive there permanently, but I'd love to go back and live it in for a few months.
4. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Oooh, I changd my mind about 17 times when I was a kid - typical doctor! no, fireman! no, vet! no, lawyer! kind of thing. When I was in college I thought I wanted to be a teacher, then a semester of pre-practicum time cleared my head of those delusions. After that I didn't have anything I wanted to be, which is pretty much how I ended up here.
5. What's your favorite comic strip, online or otherwise?
Wow. tough choice. I think I'd have to pick Rose is Rose, because it so wonderfully captures the magic and beauty of everyday life, without being endlessly repetitive. I love Vicki, and Peekaboo, and the love affair between Rose and Jimbo.
