This is not the first time I've heard the anxiety expressed: many people seem to understand the score

I'm doing pretty well. I started law school this fall so I'm busy and wiped out beyond belief, but it's good to be doing something productive. Hope you're doing well :)

8. went out last Sunday here and heard similar thoughts expressed.

Kind of fun thing to do with a friend. Weather was gorgeous, we walked and talked and went home for cider after. Wish I had more time to volunteer.
