Today in the mail, I finally got a card telling me who my advisor at college is. Thankfully, it is not a stranger. It's my English professor from earlier in the year. I just had to send him an e-mail since the letter I received from the advisment center told me I was on academic probation (no duh! 
) and might be facing academic suspension.
Maybe if anyone at that school cared about me back in 1998, I might be in the boat I am in now. I know I'm to blame for my problems of 1998 but still, why didn't anyone bother to see if I was ok? 
With the (lack of) work situtation and now the crap the school just sent me, I'm just worried. Worried about everything. 
I just want to get my life in order. Is that so wrong to want?
Or at least have the baseball playoffs start. That's something to keep my mind busy for another month.
This blog ornament exchange looks like a cool thing to do. 
I know I did the Secret Santa and it was fun. I was hoping to do it again this year but with all the crud in my life at the moment, I might not be able to either one.

Well, I signed up for the ornament exchange... What kinda ornaments do you think you'd like for your own tree???
So, academic probation... is that a carryover from 1998? Can you get free tutoring if you need to? Maybe a gorgeous and very available guy will be your tutor?
Sorry... saw this guy at the mall today who made my mouth water... hehehe

As for the schooling thing, yes, the GPA problem stems from 1998. As for tutoring, I guess I could try that after I see what my quiz score from Friday is. My teacher keeps saying she's always open.
I e-mailed my advisor hoping he can answer me first before I go up to the next link in the chain of command.
And ornaments? My family believe it or not has no policy as to what our tree will be decorated with. We had standard ornaments, hand made ornaments that fell to pieces years ago, Hallmark ornaments, and Wal-Mart ornaments.

shawn, i love that particular quote of the moment!!! don't feel too bad about having been on academic probation. i was on academic suspension once for a year(ADHD-Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a very screwy combination!!. Shouldn't have let it get the best of me but it did). unfortunately it was the year i was officially supposed to graduate. they let me go through commencement and then afterwards sent me a letter saying i had failed to complete all my requirements. you just get up, dust yourself off and do it again. i was supposed to graduate in '99. i failed the same art class twice which basically meant my degree says Summer 2001. it took me a while but at least i can say i have my degree. you will too. don't give up. it's not wrong to want your life in order. just don't give up wanting that and working at it.
I have OCD, OPP, and Bi-polar disorder. Wouldn't be surprised if I had ADHD and post traumatic (for what, maybe the battle scars of a military brat).
Thankfully, I can retake these course and take te better grade.
Thanks for the words of wisdom.
