Well, if I play my cards right, smile.
I will be going off to graduate school in May, or September, depending on
when the program I want starts classes, smile.
And then.... that is a year, so... perhaps another year.
Smile. Believe me guys working for Bookshare is keeping my sanity, smile.
I like staying busy and having something that well requires thinking smile.
And... well... there aren't a lot of volunteer opportunities here in Corry.
I am doing part time work as a Braillenote Trainer, here in Pennsylvania, so
it is some money, and keeping on top of the chores around here, which can be
a trip, working with Judson, who is awesome! I think this time off has
really been a great thing for him as far as guide work is concerned.
Oh, I found another company where I can share Braille book files, of the
things I scan, so that will be keeping me busy.
And I signed up to take the NLS Braille Transcribers course still awaiting
materials to start, but have an instructor lined up and everything.
So... I am not sitting idle.
Now today I must finish my personal essay and get that stuff ready to send
off to Western Michigan.
And I have a stack of stuff to scan so... It is snowing out and very cold,
but I am hoping things will be warm enough to go for a walk later.
Oh, need to finish getting Christmas cards and letters off, and let me see.
Oh, I have a letter to write for the local youth program I am volunteering
with. So... I take it a day at a time.
Smile.

Shelley,
We're really going to miss you when you get a
full-time job and can't scan as much any more. Are you
sure you don't want to retire from the work force
before you even get into it? (smile)
