Claiming many Black Leaders have trouble with Shedd....he is smearing him.
Amazing!
This is incredible.
I don't know why but your description had me ROTFLOL!!
Molly, that happened to me once; over and over again; it was driving me crazy. We have caller ID so I tried calling back to that number but it just rang and rang and no one picked up. I finally figured out that it was a fax machine calling our number, thinking it was calling another fax machine. So I called our phone company and somehow they were able to trace the origin of the call and tell them to stop calling.
p.s. These were long distance calls and we were charged for them...........had to call the phone company again to have the charges removed. Check your next bill.
Just received an e-mail from boychild #2........he is considering taking a "semester off" from college..........and would like Dad & I to offer our imput...........
His reasons are many; he feels stagnant and apathetic toward his studies right now......his grades are not terrific at the moment (although his GPA so far is very good); He would like to work for a while in order to pay off some debts and gets his car fixed; his girlfriend lives here and they would like to be able to spend more time together; she is going to his school next fall so he knows he will want to go back then; he's unsure about his major (history) and doesn't want to waste money/credits on something he might end up hating; etc. etc. etc. He says he wants to get some "discipline and order" back in his life and hopes that taking some time off from school would accomplish this.
Of course I would prefer that he stay in school............but I would support his decision either way, I guess.........
Not quite sure how to handle this one.
Any advice?
I got this sinking feeling they will vote to reject..
However, some people who drop out never do go back, and I think this is more true of males. Is this mostly the girlfriend? Are they having troubles? Is she complaining? Lots of stuff to think about.
Maybe Molly Pitcher can offer some input when she returns.
He seems to have made up his mind Mozie...give him the reasons why he shouldn't do it then....let him do it.
We will see.
Well, I did leave to go to community at home. I was just tired of school and needed a break. I made the Dean's list that semester but quit anyway for 2 years. I've always thought that I would have gone back earlier if allowed to do it "my way".
Your son has offered an alternative to continuing next semester. He probably knows what he needs right now.
Does this guy always blink this much??
I don't know how much that situation is playing into this...........
He's coming home for Thanksgiving, and she will be out of town, so I'm hoping we'll have plenty of time to talk this over.......
