> Hi AG,
>
> I've enjoyed music for most of my life. I've played a few instruments over that time. Mostly, I play guitar and sing, and I play recorder. Right now, I'm learning piano, (I took lessons many years ago, but need to get better at it), and over the years, I've played ukelele, mandolin, clarinet, flute, and maybe one or two others, though I was never really accomplished at them.
> What I'm hoping to do with this is to go to college in 2005, and hopefully get a degree in music therapy. Getting a degree is something that has recently become extremely important to me. I've worked as an engineer without a degree, but now that I'm disabled I'm beginning to realize that when I am able again to work, I won't be able to do the kind of work I want without one.
> Life is really scary right now. Very much is uncertain. I guess that the only thing that I can really hang onto are my dreams. Working toward making them happen kind of keeps me grounded. At absolute worst, when this is over, I'll be a better musician than I am right now. At best, I'll have a very fulfilling career.
> So in one sense, this illness has completely knocked me off of my feet, but I guess, in another sense, it's given me a chance to look at my life and find out what's really important to me.
> Now if I could only remember my own advice when my head's being kicked in with hallucinations or depression or mania. :-)
