Yeah really! And, BTW, Melissa should be from MD; she's the 
President of the * Maryland * Association of Blind Students! LOL!

Ah, i see.  Yes, true.  Anybody see the Ravens game? Sorry for 
hijacking
a thread, but curiosity killed the cat lol.  Not sure if you're 
from
here  in md Melissa, but let's just say the ending was...  idk, 
bad.

 No, you are right.  The invitation always stands for you to 
attend
 some of our events.  I don''t have to do any community service, 
but I
 do because it makes my resume look a lot better.

 Ah yes, community service.  my service learning hours (as that's 
what
 my school calls them) are done with, but it'd be nice to get out 
and
 about :)

 Alright.  And also, you can find other opportunities to meet 
students
 from all over Maryland by staying updated on some of the events 
MDABS
 will be running, sponsoring, and supporting.  We are going to do
 several community service events this year, so this may be 
helpful for
 you.

 And, even if I don't, there is always Chris's idea that I could 
use.  i
 shall have to see how things shape up in the coming days, 
schoolwise.

 Good points, Melissa! Shall take them into consideration, :)

 Hey Josh!  if you are interested in coming, you could always 
just
 come
 for the weekend.  I know missing school isn't most students' 
intent,
 but just consider the positives if you did.  It's a special 
chance
 to
 meet hundreds of students from across the country who could say 
the
 words that could help you in any of your struggles as a blind
 student
 or give you ideas for fun pass-times.  BISM would appreciate 
your
 presence even if it ends up being for a day or two.

 Well, even if we can't do chats, I can certainly record the NABS
 meeting and the Great Gathering-In Meeting.  BTW, I have a lot 
of
 recordings from state convention if you want them; they're in 
WAV
 format right now though.

 Ah, excellent dude! Doesn't look as if there will be a lot of
 time for
 all that, but yeah.
 Best,
 Josh

  Hey Josh,

  I know; I don't know if I'm going yet either.  If I am, I
  probably won't have my laptop, but will definitely have my 
Apex,
  and if they have wifi, I can chat with you and tell you what's
  going on.  I can also record it for you if you want.
