Hey Cindy, Masters, Ph.D? I'm looking at a Masters at this point and telling myself to decide on the Ph.D later on, especially since its only been a year. But it would be very cool to program for the future versions of BookShare. Even an internship would be neat. Trip to Chicago...for numerous reasons I didn't make it unfortunately. I shall be seeing nearly everyone though in about a week. Would have been definite fun to get out of Peoria for a day or two though.
