Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hi Jillian, Very kind of you to respond to my posting...it is also good to have someone my age around . Growing up with this was tough, so it's nice to know that there is somebody out there who went through the same...sorry to hear that the illness is getting you down. It is hard sometimes, but try to keep your head up! Right now, I am in England studing to be an Archaeologist, so if I can do that...blah, blah, blah...well, you get the point, I'm sure.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Hey Jillian! So good to hear from you again! But, alas, sorry to hear about the cleaning...lol. Guess I decided to be an archaeologist, for good, when I was in my first year in college...had some really amazing professors and opportunities...couldn't pass them up! I'm going to be in England until June...then I go to Scotland to dig for a month and then to Greece for the same. Will be back in the good ole US in August! I've been away since last October, so I'm definitely looking forward to getting back to New Jersey. Miss my friends and fam a lot. Would love to hear from you again, so keep it coming! And let me say, one more time, keep your head up!!! Take care! > > I'm new to the group, so I thought I would say hello to everyone > and > > tell you a bit about myself.
