Hi Sue, Thanks for asking. Yes, I've graduated this year, or rather will in August. It's a bit wacky to think about because the commencement ceremony was in May, but I had to finish with two summer school classes. Those classes are both over, but I won't technically graduate until the summer semester ends in August. I will miss going to school, but I will enjoy having a bit more free time. Perhaps after the fall semester I will begin taking a class per semester. My full time work with Bookshare.org will begin in a week, which is just two weeks after my 4 year anniversary as a member/volunteer. It will be odd not going to college, but at least Bookshare.org isn't going away, smile.

Hi, everybody. Have you all noticed how smoothly things are running this week, even though Bookshare staff are traveling for the conventions? Remember how everything used to totally shut down during convention week and for most of the beginning of July? No new books, no customer support, and no communication. Wow! I am impressed this year. Lisa, Carrie, and the rest of the staff have been working hard so that our service isn't interrupted while they do the conventions. Thanks too all of you for keeping things going. (big smile) What a wonderful Independence Day gift to wake up to 45 new books in the collection. -- Monica Willyard Follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/plumlipstick Visit my blog at http://www.scannersguild.com ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
