"I hate this place. I hate Texas. I can't wait to get back to KU." Siebs said last week from Dallas, where she is recuperating.
Siebes was injured June 7 when her car was struck by a man who was later charged with driving while intoxicated. Siebs graduated with a journalism degree May 17, just three weeks before her accident. She had been a wire editor for the Kansan in the spring.

The doctors say it's been almost a miraculous recovery. They had expected I wouldn't walk for about six months to a year, and I was walking only a month after the accident.'
According to the Dallas County police report, the driver, Mark Chapman, 29 of Dallas, failed to stop at a red light and struck Siebens' car in an intersection. Siebens suffered a head injury and a collapsed lung and had to have her spleen removed. She was in a full coma for five days and a partial coma for about another week.
Siebs said, "The doctors say it's been almost a miraculous recovery. They had expected I wouldn't walk for about six months to a year, and I was walking only a month after the accident."
Earl Bullock, Dallas County clerk,
said Chapman had been charged with
driving while intoxicated and had
been indicted by a grand jury on
charges of aggravated assault with
serious bodily injury. His case has
not yet gone to trial.
Dawn O'Malley, a 1987 KU graduate and friend of Siebes, said she thought Siebes felt sorry for Chapman.

Siebs said, "At first I was really compassionate, but I hadn't really thought it through. As long as my family is here in Dallas, I don't want him on the streets."
"Colleen had a thing about drunk driving," she said. "That was something she felt very strongly about."
Pat Siebes, Colleen's mother, said it was ironic that her daughter was hit by a man who had been charged with drunk driving.
"I don't think journalism is really for me," she said. "I think I would be good at it (therapy) because I could understand their experiences firsthand."
Siebes said she hoped to complete the final stages of her therapy soon.
Siebes is now living in her parents' home in Dallas and is completing her treatment through a re-entry program at Baylor Rehabilitation Center in Dallas.
She said she planned to go back to school and study therapy or neuropsychiatry.
Siebes's mother said her daughter was almost completely recovered except for the most advanced motor skills.
