I posted this in my journal but I am posting it here, too.

My local community program offers a free course for those with mental illness. It's essentially a way to prep people for jobs and obtaining a degree. If I choose to go on to work towards a degree (which I want to do) they will help me acquire financial aid.

So I applied to this program and I just received a phone call. I have to go for an interview on Thursday. Being an anxious person, I am anxious about going to the college all by myself (when I am not familiar with it) and then being interviewed. It's been years since I've been on an interview and back then I at least had my mom or dad to take me. I am sure I'll be okay and I'll be accepted, but it sure would be nice to have some words of encouragement.

This is one step towards achieving one of my bigger goals and I think it will help with my depression in the long run. So I have a lot riding on this.
