Can in butt in long enough to share that my first thoughts went to my nephew,
who had to take a year off and work for financial reasons.  He went back and
finished, but for a little while that unplanned break whacked him out.

When you get in that good stride, inturruptions might seem more like
assualts.  College was the first time I really loved a formal education
environment.  There was this great revelation of a richer world than the one
I knew before, and it was being displayed before me in a way that I never
experienced before.  You can bet that I resented anything that might get in
the way.

Jenn, I am hoping for the most expedient resolution for your pain.  If you
have to wait out a semister, just don't forget to keep your eye on the prize.


I never went back, and I heartily regret it.  Keep your eye on the prize.  It
is yours for the taking.
