I don't know if I ever shared this piece of advice with anyone who is reading this, but I've offered it up several times to clients (when I was a therapist) and residents (when I was an RA): no matter what happens, no matter how hard it gets, finish your bachelor's degree.

I am sorry for the loss of the man who had such a profound impact on you.

thanks, my thoughts are with you also. I drifted through the other day, and saw you posted a picture of the man. Seeing your comment today about wanting to be out of the relationship, I'm hoping that you are doing well.

I'm as good as I ever get anymore! It was nice and sweet while it was on. I guess I just prefer to be off!

He is glad you heeded his encouragement about education. Says the other stuff is small stuff, not to worry. He's glad you're sharing. Life goes on-and you are much loved and appreciated.

Powerful post. Sorry to hear about your professor.

Thanks for the advice.

Autumn & I know one of the academic advisors there. Angie Porter-Corralez, I am not sure Autumn has told you about her.

I haven't met that one, yet, but the way you say it makes it sound like there is something ominous, or really scandalous, about her.

Yes she does have some scanalous things in her past, but I should let Autumn fill you in. We are going to be in Kalamazoo next weekend. Want to get together?

This weekend could work. What day would be best? Are you just coming in the night of the concert, or will you be around the entire weekend?

I'm assuming the same goes for Graduate School? God knows nothing else has been helping to get me to finish. I'm stuck, but perhaps your friend's words will help me as well.

As for the second bit of advise, I miss you!!! It's nice to see you posting again.
