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!
