I finally met my International Studies advisor today… for the first time… ever. This is a milestone in my life. I was afraid it might be my tombstone, but fortunately for me, it was not that deliciously deadly.
Apparently, I may, in fact, GRADUATE after FOUR YEARS of college. *subtle subliminal message to my parents…* That’s good news. The only thing that stands in the way is good grades and taking the right courses each semester. No problem. I’ll just have to start studying now. *sigh* What’s a bum gotta do for a free ride? *grabs a textbook*

Yeah! Your parents received the subliminal message! Go for it! You can do it! College isn’t meant to be EASY. You don’t need a tombstone you need a motto.
Hey Cal, You’re an international studies major, too? how could I not have known…. I didn’t meet dr. B. until my junior year either…
