Update
Here we are...7 months later -
Jan 2001. I was working
on scanning in pictures of my burns, but I felt I needed to share some more
information with you. I am officially graduating college on May 11th, 2001
at 7pm in Networking Administration and Support! I have a job at the
college I attend as a Network Lab Technician and I soooooo love it! I am
so happy with myself right now. I am still in therapy to deal with my
personal feelings, but overall I am happy. I can deal with the questions,
glances, and remarks now without thinking something is wrong with me personally.
Also, I included a page dedicated to the person who saved me and kept me
alive all this time. He has helped me "lick" my wounds and be my
support when I needed someone to just cry to. Ok, I know you think crying
to a cat is weird, but I love my Pugsley. He is the most precious animal I know and I wouldn't trade him for
anything.
Well until I can get a few moments to scan in some pictures, I will leave you
with my cats page.

An Update on the update - May 21st, 2001
I look back and darn it, I am a slacker!!! I graduated college May 11th, 2001 with an A.A.S in Network Administration and Support. I haven't found a job yet, but then again, I am not really looking all that much. I really wanted to scan pictures in of my progress, but I had been so busy with work, school, and family, I guess I just forgot. I am doing well. Summer heat is about to kill me already because my hand tightens at the slightest hint of heat. I have burnt my scar two times already in the past 3 months by exposing myself to too much sunlight. I am having a blast right now. I have found the courage to continue going to school to pursue my programming degree and then I am off to the four year institution to get my B.S. degree in Computer Science. I love myself and reading my past post, I think I have accomplished a major task!!! I couldn't dream of it almost a year ago, but now, I look ahead and dream of the day when I can truly feel whole again. I have begun loosing weight (under my doctor's supervision of course) to take off all those pounds from laying in bed and being depressed for almost 6 months. I will succeed, no doubt about it! Well, I will TRY and post pictures of the new me, but just look at my graduation photos and you can see the new me. :) Till next time!
