My M.A. class in Bristol, from the Department of Theology and Religious Studies<\/a>, was composed of three other full time students; three brilliant and talented women from quite diverse backgrounds (I had a secret crush on each of them until I learned, one by one, that they all had boyfriends and\/or husbands\u2026 tisk tisk \u2013 oh well \u2013 I\u2019ve ended up with the very lovely Ana and won\u2019t complain a bit). I\u2019m very thrilled and honored to have studied with these wonderful women, and thought I\u2019d devote a quick post to where they are now.<\/p>\n

Allison you heard a bit about<\/a> in March (she\u2019s the one with the BA from Oxford). Then she and her boyfriend were volunteering in education services in India. Today she\u2019s back in England, Birmingham to be precise, looking for work at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Heather is an American with a British husband and two wonderful daughters. Today she is back in the U.S., just getting settled after a long moving process, but already moving on to new projects. One of those may be a book, another is the Dharma Wheel Game<\/a>, which she\u2019s been working on for a long time (It\u2019s the perfect gift for that Buddhist who has it all\u2026 hehe\u2026). Actually I think it would be great for anyone looking for a fun way to introduce kids to Buddhism<\/a> \u2013 it combines the fun atmosphere of a game and actually teaches the basics of Buddhism.<\/p>\n

Last but not least is Mary: half Greek, half Hawai\u2019ian, with a British boyfriend. Today she is finishing her own second M.A. (in Creative Writing) and also has a website<\/a> where she offers writing workshops that combine her various interests. <\/p>\n
