Happy New Year. So you're done in May, ...Hey Julie! Happy New Year. So you're done in May, too? Are you writing a thesis? I am and it's not going at all as I intended or thought it would. I'm not sure your feelings of urgency are related to age because I'm 27 and feeling antsy. 2006 was rough, especially the end, and I'm staring at a scary beginning to 2007 filled with worries about actually finishing my thesis and having absolutely no idea what I'm going to do once I'm done. Argh!<br />Anyway, all that was just to commiserate. If you'd like to get together to go over writing stuff, send me an email! habakkuk317@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-38156812000865913222007-01-03T22:53:00.000-05:002007-01-03T22:53:00.000-05:00Dave, thanks for asking.

I did almost keel over into a death faint this a.m. when I tried to update my firmware on my new Macbook Pro and accidentally killed the update and shut down my computer so that it would not reboot!<br /><br />Thankfully the patient Apple tech support walked me through a fix which worked on the second try. Phew.<br /><br />Like you I face lots of changes, and I think in the end, good things may pop through like daisies. It's just odd not to have an idea of what that good may look like.<br /><br />Thanks for asking and glad you are enthusiastic. Your enthusiasm is usually contagious so I'll be looking to catch the bug from you. :)<br /><br />JulieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-88838198824847503332007-01-03T13:50:00.000-05:002007-01-03T13:50:00.000-05:00So... it's been a couple days.

I'm quite enjoying this new year so far (just into it, of course, I know, but it's been a pretty memorable couple of days for me!) and I don't even mind being 45 even though I relate to a lot of what you are saying here. I haven't written my book either, and I haven't even begun any post-grad work! One of my twins has decided to drop out of community college (I don't intend to blog about that) and I'm even beginning to toy with the idea of pursuing a significant career change sometime in the foreseeable future (I will blog about that when the time is right.)<br /><br />So yeah, there's a lot of potential drama and shake-up on the horizons for both (all) of us in 2007. But my overall mood at the moment is, "cool, let's see what happens!"David Blakesleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167200509158903679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9684236.post-69088980272257688702007-01-02T11:04:00.000-05:002007-01-02T11:04:00.000-05:00The New Year is always bittersweet for me. There ...The New Year is always bittersweet for me. There are things I'm excited about and things that I would just as soon not face. <br /><br />What are your plans for after graduation? When will you write that book? :-)<br /><br />BTW, it was a big adjustment for me when Ana and Nicole went off to college and there were only two at home, and one was an 8th grader. I understand that feeling of loneliness and loss!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SusanSUSANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656015308557797386noreply@blogger.com
