I've been having on and off days lately. I'm not happy at the place I'm at in my life, but I don't have a lot of options to change it. I think I'm going to try and finish out my bachelor's degree in the near future, if I can figure out how to fund it. I was in my junior year when my heart condition hit and knocked me out of school and pretty much everything else in July of 2000. I managed to finish up an Associate's degree a year or so ago, thanks to having scholarship money left over. Now, I'm kind of stuck in limbo. On the upside, I've outlived the general life span of folks with my condition(3 years in general, I'm on year 11). I try to stay positive about things, but I just feel stuck.

And an edit...I'm disappointed in my state by massive amounts. There's an upcoming Life-at-Fertilization initiative on the ballot in November. It basically would make abortion illegal no matter the reason(rape, incest, or threat to the mother's life all wouldn't matter), and eliminate the morning after pill as an option as well. It's basically an attempt to challenge Roe v. Wade and overturn it. I usually try to stay out of abortion debates, but I'm very much against this idea. One of my friends who swore he'd never register to vote signed up specifically to vote against this measure. I'll be voting against it as well, and I hope it fails.
