Does it mean I'm old if the only thing I ever listen to is NPR?

No reception + No cable = 20 channels of snow, alas

I'm a product of private schools now pondering
how to provide the same quality of education in public
schools that cost my parents a small fortune for me. Since graduating from college with a degree
in Cognitive Science, I've logged time as a teacher, EMT,
Peace Corps Volunteer, and office slave, although now I'm a
full-time graduate student and part-time GA. In my heart I
consider myself an elementary school teacher,
regardless of what's paying the bills at the moment.

I have discovered that I love hearing from former students, even when it makes me feel rather ancient. So whether you knew me as Sally or Ms. Grant, don't be shy about getting in touch. (Really!)
