Hello all,

Many apologies for being off the board and out of touch with you. I've been *very* busy with school for the past couple months.

The first great, awesome, and fantastic news...I GRADUATED MONDAY! I am not the proud holder of a bachelor of arts in anthropology with a minor in computer science. Yes...I did have a party. :)

Next great news, I have a job! ...at least for the next six months or so. I have a full-time temporary position in information systems department of the university. I worked there as a student. I wanted to stay and they wanted to keep me. Good deal. I'm hoping it can lead to a permanent position after a few months.

Additional good news, my boy best friend and I are "together". He had promised over a year ago to go with me to a friend's wedding in Austin. While were there, we really remembered why we were such close friends in the first place. For the most part so far, the relationship been really good.

Anxiety-wise, I've been doing pretty well. The boy-type-anxiety of course dropped off a lot, but academic-type-anxiety picked up a lot in the past couple months. Except right around the time papers, projects, and exams were due I was pretty much ok though. ADD still here too. Doc upped my dose by 50% during exams, but back to normal now. A "real" paper day planner is also helping a lot. My electronic organizer is cool and all, but no substitutue for something I can actually flip through.

Hope everyone else is doing well. My thoughts were with you even when I was absent.

I am so happy to hear all your good news, Shelley. You have been missed & it's always good to hear from the MIA. LOL Congrats on school & the job! I know that you had some setbacks & the anxiety & ADD were problematic, but you persevered! You
