Changing your name

[squirrely girl]

i kinda did both -

in terms of academics i kept my maiden name as middle name-ish and without a hyphen
ie - marissa _____ _____

i only do that because i'm done some psychology presentations and papers under my maiden name before i got married and it kinda sucks explaining to people that "yes, these papers and things are mine, just not in my name, blah blah blah"

but in every other aspect of my life i just go by my married name

hope that made sense

marissa
