I was an art student for years. I took whatever I wanted to at Eastern Michigan University. Usually a load of studio classes and women's studies courses. I didn't really plan for the future. I guess I really never learned how. But...I am learning that now. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am in treatment now. I am taking some time off, getting unemployment. This is temporary. Medication helps---I was hospitalized for psychosis. That's what I get for not taking medication and smoking copious amounts of pot. I am planning on returning to school in the fall for a more structured, complete education---I am choosing to major in sociology and minor in "gender studies". I have previously waited tables, done direct care in group homes, and worked at a thrift store pricing clothes.

Are you married, single, in a relationship, other?

single. I plan to remain single for at least another couple of years. I have to unlearn the prospect of making my partner my only important priority.
