Her site is www.AdrianaNormand.com. n Shawn Howard sends this news;:“Life is pretty good! I currently live in Sandusky, Ohio. I work for Cedar Fair Entertainment Company as a ride operations area supervisor. I also work in the corporate office in the investor relations department.” n As for me, Helen Birney, I will have graduated with my master of arts degree in media studies May 22. Even though I will not be pursuing a career in media studies, my experience at The New School has helped me establish priceless professional relationships and has also taught me how to think outside the box. So where has this led me? I will be an associate teacher for The Berkeley Carroll School in Brooklyn, NY, an in-
dependent school that reminds me a lot of Severn without the uniforms. Believe me, this is the last thing I ever thought I would be doing, but for the next 1-2 years I’m really looking forward to teaching children in unconventional ways (I have no practical experience except that I am currently substitute teaching, nor do I have an education degree) and also learning how to manage large groups of people (so they’re little people, but don’t we all act like children sometimes?). I will also continue freelance work in video production when I am not teaching. Even MORE importantly, I am engaged! My girlfriend of 2 ½ years proposed to me April 18. Her name is Nora McCaffrey, an event planner and aspiring catering business owner from New York. We are planning a wedding for August or September 2010.
