Ouch!!! I am so sorry to hear that. I can imagine how badly that must sting. "I" applaud you! (I know it's nowhere near the same...but I hope it's a teensy bit
I think it was more the part that came after the "I want to be a surgeon" that rubbed the wrong way - the "I just don't know how dedicated I am to studying"...implying that nursing wouldn't require...
Yes...you get a relatively big bang for your buck with housing there (unlike where I live...grrrr...) Both my nieces moved to the Dallas area after graduating from college. They love it

Can you elaborate a little more on his behavior during the meeting. Was he calmly trivializing the whole thing? Was he wildly defensive? Wasn't there any expression of remorse...not even a carelessly...

When I volunteered as an EMT, I knew a couple of people who invested in their own 'jump bags'...and they had portable pulse ox devices. They just figured they were always happening upon 'situations'...

My school will consider only the last 30 credits earned when considering your GPA if it's better than your overall GPA...recognizing that a person can learn from earlier
Oh, yes, yes. OP - If it wasn't clear...when I said you didn't need to rush over to DMV ASAP...I just meant you didn't need to panic, drop everything and do it TODAY...but you really should put it on...
My thoughts on that are that if you were ever to be pulled over by a law enforcement officer and they're on the fence concerning the truthfulness of what you have to say...I think a small thing such...

Unfortunately...that's just not the case. Any woman living in the United States, no matter how dire her circumstances, is far better off than about 50% of the women in the entire world, in terms of...

I think we all expect to be able to go to work everyday without having to wonder whether or not we're going to be slapped in the face that day. Report it immediately. Anybody who goes around slapping...

I hate it too! It keeps calling out to me for attention when I should be concerning myself with such things as how to distinguish my extensor digitorum longus from my fibularis longus on next week's...
Your feelings of disappointment at missing out on this particular opportunity are very, very understandable. But I can't help but wonder if their decision not to help you -even a little - was rooted...
The issue for me since this thread began is this: Resources that belong to another person are theirs to GIVE. They are not anybody else's to TAKE. So regardless of whether it's parents or boyfriends,...
