More picking up pieces...

...so, this morning I checked in on my grades again.  All came back good, so my AS is done.  This means among other things that I need to update my profile here...when I'm finally able to sleep through the night for once.
Picking up pieces as a result of this:
* Couldn't help but comment on the discussion about the Meebo loss last night.  Given how scared I am of people, that's a disaster.  One of the CLs noted that trying to open an external chat room is also a disaster because who knows if the people coming there are legit, which is also a legitimate concern.  I guess the days of me being able to talk when I have a "need you now" moment can be effectively called gone now.
* One of my parents suggested I contact the career center on campus for some help yesterday.  Great idea (they do help alumni), should have done it yesterday...couldn't do it.  Too scared.  Still can't get over my "world is out to hurt me" feelings that were amplified about one hundred times last month (this is also keeping me from looking for Skype friends which are now more badly needed than ever).
* Still don't know what to tell you about that core competency exam e-mail I got yesterday.  Could self-study it if I wanted to, just like I did for my pharmacy tech certification, and on a whim I checked out where test locations could be, finding one on Causeway Street in Boston that wouldn't be so bad.  But I don't think it will matter at the moment because I'm so scared out of my wits that any interview I get -- once I can get myself to start looking, that is -- now will probably be blown up by a sleepless the night before.
