Today I received the official notice that I am done with graduate school!!! My thesis is done and I'm waiting to hear if it's going to be published. It would be exciting to hear about a published paper, but I think a few papers will come out of my thesis. Good stuff.

Anyways, I'm done with that aspect of my life and am now applying to jobs all over the country. Literally anywhere from Alaska to Delaware. There's nothing like getting turned down for jobs because you have "too much education". Really? So I'm too smart to work for you... that seems... ummm.... counterintuitive. So you don't want anyone with the ability to get promoted within your business? O.K. just making sure.

Sorry for the randomness of this post, but that's my life. Kind of all over the place right now. The recovery has been going well. I feel great at this point. I'll still have some difficulty with this for quite some time, but I've been able to deal with this and pass on my story to a lot of people. It feels good to pass on information and let other people know first hand what can happen and how to deal with a scenario like this.

Alright, I'm going to go sleep and get ready for another day of searching for jobs.
