  Well guys, I haven't been on here much this year. Part of the reason is because I had sporadic internet access, but part of it is because I've developed an urge to not be associated with jw'ism in any way. Ironically enough, reading many posts on this site leaves me with a sick feeling in my stomach, as if jw'ism still has anything to do with who I am. And so, I think the distance has been good. Do any of you do this?

  As far as what I've been doing, I graduated in December with a BA in Math and a BA in English. I've been accepted to U of A school of law with a liberal scholarship, and I'll more than likely be attending that school in the Fall. I'm amazed how much a little education has changed and broadened my outlook on life.

  Congratulations, so you made it through ;)
  I was hoping you were going to the U of Arizona at first but then I realized that probably isn't the one, wishful thinking on my part. I understand what you mean about getting away from the site for awhile though. I feel like that at times too, but I keep coming back.
  Congratulations again.
  
  And keep in touch even if you stay away from JWD for awhile, it's good to hear from you.

  Heyyy, congratulations! How long did that take you? I'm struggling with a very dull statistics unit from my undergrad degree. I'm really losing momentum this month.

  Thanks guys. Misanthropic, you flatter me. Sass, it took me 9 semesters, but I didn't go back to school until I was 23, having dropped out of the 10th grade.
