I'm feeling old
I am waiting now for only one more school decision, and that is from the University of Florida. Miami has accepted me, and I was just there this last weekend. I do, however, feel a large amount of concern over these times in which we live.
I am 37. I will be 15 years older than most of the people I will be going to school with. UM is expensive, and the first year is going to cost me over $60K.
Various people are telling me that UM isn't worth the money, it really sucks being a lawyer, Miami sucks, I will die alone, I will never get a job, and I will be a slave forever. I don't know how I feel about all of this.
Has life passed me by? Is it too late for me now to go to school? I don't know the answer to these questions. I don't know if I want to know. Am I giving up by doing this, and subjecting myself to a life of misery...?
I can tell you that right now I am completely unhappy. My life has gone nowhere for the last 2 years. Everything that I worked for is gone. I'm lonely and alone, both at the same time.

and to chat and to put things in order where they're pretty -- so I have a pretty place to come home to.
so - if you'd like to have any part of that, i need your number again so I can call you and visit or adventure or talk or laugh or dance or some such sillyness.
