Well, that's too bad about Julie. I guess I fail to understand at
times why two intelligent people can't work it out, somehow. I
mean, at this point in my life, which is also about your point, unless
somebody was really, really constantly irritating me, or was abusive, or
absolutely non-caring (and probably some other things I can't think of
right now) I think I would just let it be--simply because I have my own
life and interests, and I THINK I could enjoy the companionship and
sharing when it occurred, without complaining about what wasn't. I
don't know. You never said what the problem was between you two.
You are very independent, and I wonder if that comes across as not
needing someone. You two seemed "ideal" to me as you described all your
activities and everything. Well, Peter, Paul and Mary--I think I
still have old albums, wow. I didn't realize VA had a year's
waiting period of separation. In AL its 30 days. I mean you
can file, but your have to wait 30 days before it is final, and in that
time, you can change your mind. I had my first final last night--I
felt quite relieved.
It was not the killer I expected. The professor is new. His
last two semesters have been killer exams, absolutely. He failed
everybody in one class, everybody, all 75 students. Administration
made him curve, but still it was mostly D's. He is the one I have
been e-mailing. He asked me for feedback on his exam last term and
the one anticipated for this term. I was really frank about how
traumatic his exams were. That was in an e-mail last week or so,
THEN he hasn't written back. I had his exam last night. I
don't know if he listened to me (ha!) and made the exam less traumatic,
or if because I studied like a fiend it was a little easier.
Anyway, no fears of not passing. It was kind of tough, but nothing
that could ever put be below a C, and I'm speculating I may have made an
A or b. Well two more, one tomorrow, one Friday night. Exam
week is SO dreary and intense. My t.v. hasn't been on in two to
three weeks. I haven't read the paper unless I caught it at work.
I don't know what to do about a trip away after exams.
I'm burning up a little of my time having to take off to study. I
hear people say they are going to Cancun afterwards, etc., but either
they must have more money than I do or less job responsibilities, or
maybe no job--not everybody at school works. Oh well, I'm
rambling, but I'm tired. Ferocious exam. Jammed about it
until after midnight, woke up in an absolute panic at about 4:30 a.m.
this morning thinking--OH NO YOU MISSED THAT QUESTION. But I
couldn't quite remember it, and felt I did have it right when I did it.
Well--do you believe, it will be probably OCTOBER or late Sept. before I
get my grade. I've got to, got to diet again, put on weight the past few
weeks, look like hell. Elizabeth
