About Me

Where I am coming from? More like where I am going. I was a research librarian type w/out my masters (shock, horrors). Due to my past of not really believing I would follow my siblings examples and go to grad school I did not take college very seriously (I am the black sheep of my family, the only one w/out my PHd). I could have done a lot better in university, but wasn't mature enough to apply myself. Now that I have become an "adult" it seems like giving grad school a decent shot may be worth it. In the mean time, I am blogging about life with my Aspergers syndrome son, http://livingontheedgeaspie.blogspot.com/ , writing the book I have been meaning to for years and picking up odd jobs as they come along. I haven't had much with the job interview thing, nor have they come as frequently as I would like. Ergo, I am trying new things, like blogging, and looking at school options. Clearly, I have completely lost my mind.
