I went to UC for my undergrad and graduated with honors. Found out during that time that I had a very rare sarcoma so I had chemo, surgery, radiation etc. Despite all that I moved to Savannah, GA and worked on my MFA in Film Production at the Savannah College of Art and Design. When that became a physically impossible major I switched to an MA in Cinema studies. I excelled in all my course work but the economy and my health left me short of money so I moved home to Kentucky where I am writing my thesis (Almodovar's "All About My Mother" as an allegory for Spain's rise from Francoism to Democracy) and applying to PhD programs.
Hard to believe its been 28 years - I moved to Greece, then Oklahoma, back to KY, raised my kids, finished college and am enjoying life. Travel, ride horses, follow NHRA all over the country and raise money for MSJ.
It's all good!
