A few things at a time:

I've been rather the busy bastard, trying to improve my computer code knowledge (which continues to be a work in progress).  Research continues at a frustratingly slow pace.  I continue looking for work. Have been trying out free group therapy workshops offered by the university counseling center.

Continue with seeing my psychiatrist but also started seeing a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy specialist (CBT is pretty cool: the idea behind it is you can retrain yourself out of  certain bad habits and negative thought patterns to overcome some of the hang ups that have been holding you back from being more positive and productive). I've also been playing quite a few computer games both on my laptop and iPad.
some of the ones I'd recommend off the top of my head are Tropico 1 + 2, and Shadowrun: Dragonfall on PC and Lego Batman: DC Superheroes  for iOS.  All in all some pretty great stuff imo.

On a related note to gaming, I had not before realized quite the text-based role playing potential of Google Plus has as a platform and was blown away by the quality and effort put out by some communities on it.  Right now I've been dabbling in Marvel + DC and the Dragon Ball Z Roleplayers groups.

On the social front,  a friend of mine from high school and her husband are trying to talk me into going to our ten year reunion... I'm not sure if that's a good idea since she is one of the few people I have kept in contact with from back then and bothered hanging onto.  I do suppose if it turns out to suck I could always just walk out. Think that it's in May.

I feel like something of a social failure what with having turned 28 and still having yet to have an actually nice girlfriend.  It doesn't help that I have little to no idea of where to go generally to meet people my own age to socialize with, let alone a woman interested in some of the same types of things as myself, that's true.

Feel the shackles of time! Time is running out... Have to hurry up and finish things that are important to have done toward obtaining my degree!
I also took up drawing a little bit again, trying my hand (and thumb and occasionally stylus) at using virtual charcoal through ASketch..
