Not really. But it has changed -- you just won't really feel that seeping into every corner of your life until a few more years have gone by.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-62330162880140145912009-08-31T07:59:45.615-07:002009-08-31T07:59:45.615-07:00You'll get a big boost when you actually hold ...You'll get a big boost when you actually hold the book in your hands.squadratomagicohttp://squadratomagico.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-84016955342118200752009-08-31T04:04:53.499-07:002009-08-31T04:04:53.499-07:00hang in there. it will pass.hang in there. it will pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648409483330236099.post-49594327102857862432009-08-30T22:21:52.442-07:002009-08-30T22:21:52.442-07:00Take care!!
