a little about me
My name's Erin McCarthy & I'm in my senior year at MSU (I was actually a senior in the spring too, but this is the start of my 4th year). I have a year and a half left of school, I'll finish out my bio degree in the spring and then its on to my student teaching in the fall. I am hoping to finish my biology classes at The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and then I'll come back to NJ to do my student teaching. I really hope to be able to study in NC in the spring so that I can learn more about the area I'll be moving to after I graduate. My boyfriend is a U.S. Marine based out of Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC, which is about 40 mins from Wilmington (not a bad commute), so thats another (major) reason why I want to study there. We have been waiting for me to graduate to "take things to the next level" so to speak and get married, and I really hope things work out for me to go to UNCW....annnnd really hope his deployment schedule wont interfere (keeping our fingers crossed for that one). I guess I've gotten a bit personal here, but I'm really excited about all this news right now. Hope to get to know all of you just a little bit better, see you on Wednesday!

Hello Erin! It's nice to meet you! It sounds like you have a lot going for you, and that's great to hear! We also seem to have a lot in common, which I found very interesting. Before transferring to Montclair, I used to be a biology major at Trinity University in San Antonio. Biology has always been a passion of mine, and I really thought that I might wind up being either a doctor or a biologist. In the end, however, I was introduced to linguistics, and it became my new passion. Like you, I also had to spend time away from my fiance. We've been together for six years, and we probably spent about three of those years apart. It's really tough, but we managed to make it work with constant phone calls and IM sessions. Luckily, your guy is only forty minutes away, so you probably make plenty of time for face-to-face meetings as well. One other thing that we have in common is a relationship with the military. My father was in the Air Force for about twenty-four years. He was lucky though because he only had to be deployed once (for a year) the entire time he was in the military. Unfortunately, with the situation in Iraq, I'm certain your boyfriend hasn't been so lucky. I really hope his deployment schedule doesn't end up interfering with your marriage plans. It sounds like you guys have been waiting for this day a long time, so you two deserve to have the time to plan something special. Good luck with transferring to The University of North Carolina at Wilmington!
