Feb 2013

Thanks for checking in on me. I'm still a bit stressed, but I'm coming along. I've applied for a couple of jobs since the OP, and I'm just waiting to hear back. School is keeping me busy, so that's a bit of a help. I am actually taking a little break from working on a paper that is due tonight by 10pm. Talk about cutting it close!

Thank you for your continued good thoughts. You have no idea how much it means that people are thinking of me and routing me on. I'm sure the grey skies are bound to break eventually. I wish it would just hurry up.

to you.

I hope it does soon too. el_bryanto Feb 2013 #1
