Just now in our faculty meeting, the emergency contact sheet (where we write our full name and the name/number of one person to contact in case of emergency) was passed around because it hasn’t been updated in a while. We were asked to look over the information we had provided years ago and update it accordingly.

By the time the sheet got to me, dozens of people had crossed out their former last names and written their new married names. I felt pretty proud that when I looked at my information, I could cross out and replace the last name, too.

Of my emergency contact.

Because she got married.

So, you know. That’s exciting.
