Now I'm in love, I got a job as a webmaster (I won't plug the site), I have a NeXTstep machine on my desk, and Sonic Youth is headlining Lollapalooza.  On top of it, the web is becomming the next, big thing.  Is the world really becomming a better place, or am I just imagining this upswing?P.S.  I've noticed that people are still waiting.

QuestionDear Allison,I have this searing pain in my torso that feelslike someone stabbed me with a foot-long knife.  When I take a deep breath--or one limited to abouthalf a breath--it feels like someone is yanking mearound by the knife.I saw the doctor but all he said was, "We'll sendthe X-rays to the radiologist and see what he says."I don't know if you can help.  When I told my sisterabout my pain, all she could do was laugh at me.  Ithink that she was truly amused.  *sigh* Ow.

QuestionDear Allison,I'm going to be a senior in high school this upcoming year. I've been in high school since 8th grade, taken hard classes, and always been pretty much a year ahead. This past year, taking all senior classes, having all senior friends, even going to senior prom, should have been my senior year. A teacher asked me if I wanted to graduate early, and said if I did I probably could. Well, all of my friends (seniors) are going off to college and if I stay I'll be stuck taking leftover, blow-off classes and having a pretty dismal year. I'm into computers and the Internet. I created our school's web page. When it's time to go to a 4-yr college I'd like to go to MIT. But for this year, I'd like to get away. Take advantage of this free year that's come from hard work. I'd like to do Internet-related work. Things I couldn't do here at school and things that would involve me on the cutting edge of the Net. Any ideas? Could I intern at HotWired? That would be the coolest. Or companies such as Netscape? Or spend a year or so at a computer/Internet involved college? Thanks in advance.
