[Courses] [Careers] Maria finds academia

[Maria Mckinley]

I keep very good notes, send myself reminder emails, and try to jot 
down memory-jolting phrases.  Actually, having to switch gears a lot 
has really improved my documentation.  I tend to keep much more 
up-to-date and clearer documentation now.  It usually does not take me 
too long to remember where I was.
