I figured you were too busy to text back, I was just terrified that I had offended you to the point of silence. ESP would be helpful.
I don't really think anything or anyone could keep Lauren from doing what Lauren wants to do. I've realized over the years of our friendship that she's a selfish person, doing things that please her no matter the impact on the people around her. I think you're right that she's the dumbest smart person I know. I have little doubt that she'll get into grad school, and become successful in whatever she does, but it's still painful to watch her now. I suppose there's always the chance that she'll become addicted since she has an extremely addictive personality, I just hope she isn't that dumb.
I know how you feel about school and the future - I find myself having the same issues. I failed so miserably last semester and I have no good excuse for it. Sleep seemed to be more important. I just hope that I can muster the motivation to do well, or at least do well for fear of utter failure. Actually, working around people like Jeff is making me even more terrified of an uneducated future. My GPA went from a 3.5 at Oxy to a 2.5 at the UA. Hanging around Lauren and her constant bragging about her graduation, her getting excellent funding to grad school, and her successful life even though she's doing drugs makes me sick to my stomach. I've never been smart, I've just been studious, my grades last semester show that. Anyway, it makes me want to hide in my room and never come out - so I understand the social anxiety part. It always seems like everyone else is always on track.
Jeff has called in every day this past week, so I think he may be quitting. Or maybe Jim will get sick of having a guy that's never there, and finally fire him, in which case he'd probably move you over to canal! If you don't move over, I think I might look for another job.
Happy new year at any rate! I know Lauren will be okay, I guess I just feel a little less close to her, but I suppose that's just the natural way of things.
