All right, I'll take over.
Some of you know that I got my degree at UBC last November. But what do I do now?
a. Absolutely nothing, I just sit in front of the computer, looking for a job.
b. I am a sessional lecturer at the University of British Columbia
c. I work at a Canadian Government Agency monitoring phytoplankton in the Strait of Georgia.
d. I am an associate professor at UBC, with my own lab
e. I have gotten a post-doc position in the US, and am packing my bags to leave Vancouver

Well I had my guess, so I'll let someone else pick between b and c. I hope it is c because that sounds kind of cool albeit probably more boring in apllication.

I'll guess C because it doesn't sound like something you'd make up.

And we (obviously) have a winner. Monitoring phytoplankton would be just about the last thing I'd ever do, I can't think of many things I'd find more boring. No, I've agreed to teach a course in Protistology this term, and I might do it again next year. I'm actually having a lot of fun, I find that one of the best ways to learn new material is to have to teach it.
Cobie, you're up!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, and thanks for letting me know IB!
I plan to dedicate my academic life to history, as many of you know. Which period of history is my favorite and my main focus? (I've mentioned this a few times here and there...)
A. the Habsburg Empire
B. Medieval Russian history
C. Byzantine History
D. Roman History
E. The Mongolian Empire
All of them are favorites of mine, but one in particulur I just can't get enough of!

I think you've talked about having to learn Latin, so I'll say D. Roman History

That is it, Cobie.
I loved History (still do) I was going to be a history teacher or a historian (before I even knew exactly what a historian was)
My first favorite book was about Francis Marion the Swamp Fox as a boy.
