|

I really haven't been around for about three years, so I'm curious to learn what people are doing these days. A lot can change in three years, after all. People who were in college will likely be done, and those who were in highschool would likely be elsewhere. Some people may have family now, who knows.
My situation hasn't changed at all. Still in Ohio. I'm still going through the same chemo treatment and the condition of my illness is more or less the same. |

I'm more or less the same as well. Still living in Houston doing shift work that my body hates me for and not much else. _________________

I spend a few months in the army, worked in different boring jobs and am now a bookseller, something I really wanted to be. Had two serious relationships in the last three years (and both women are engaged by now, although neither with me nor with each other).
I have learned a lot about me regarding the internet and forums in the meantime and I became more relaxed and mature in many aspects during those three years. I believe I grow up not steadily, but with big leaps from time to time. _________________

I am now a graduate student, which is something I did not expect to do when I first joined Suikox as a high school student. I'll probably start teaching college-level courses in the next few months, if circumstances stay positive.
Glad to see you again, Vex! _________________

Nothing too exciting, just gained a general disinterest in most of the things I used to do. _________________

This too. Though I've been a grad student for a year now. |

I'm about to start pharmacy school at the end of the month. I should have a bachelors in health science, but for frustrating reasons I have to wait to receive it, if at all. It would be a pointless degree, but would make my 5 years of college worth something.
*Also the Starbucks I worked at was closed and now I work in a pharmacy, which is nice. _________________

I reenlisted in the US Air Force earlier this year, and I will be continuing my tour overseas at another base for another year or so. I've been trying to get some schooling towards a bachelor's degree done by taking classes here and there; these days you need school to progress even in the military.
Gotta say, didn't forsee a situation where I'd reenlist a few years ago. Life is sometimes funny like that. _________________

Not much has happened since I was here last... 3 years ago? I just randomly decided to check back.
I enrolled in college, dropped out, lost contact with some friends, attended a couple funerals, started seeing a counselor for my anxiety and got a temp job as a textbook clerk at the local community college. I plan on trying my hand at college again before long. |

I ditto the not much sentiment, still got knocked back from work due to age primarily, started helping out the local sporting club out of the goodness of my being for some cash, skipped some weddings cause they didn't invite me and I'm not one to push (although one was dress up so I was suitably unimpressed, I love dress up!) getting back to try reconnecting with old friends as we've all basically gone out separate ways. _________________

About the only change I've had is I bought a condo, so now I'm a homeowner and staring at a 30 year mortgage. Not too thrilled with that aspect of it, but owning my own place is nice. Other than that, still doing the sailor stuff. _________________

Starting my Junior year of University. Working a couple of part time jobs for the summer. Not too much different for me, really. Just goin' to school. I have absolutely no clue where I'm going to be going 2 years from now, though. Maybe this question will have a more interesting answer then! _________________

Glad to learn of all the paths people are taking, whether it has dramatically changed or remained steady. While I've been focusing on my illness and work, I've often thought of all the people I've interacted with on this site, and realized how these interactions had a huge impact on me as well (back in 2006 or something it all just seemed annoying!).
I hope to re-create the same type of atmosphere where many people can discuss a wide range of interesting stuff without fear of being interrupted by trolls and morons. Going to other sites, it seems to be universally the case that good discussion becomes nearly impossible due to trolls and other strange people. |
