I'm Sorry I haven't been online in a long time. I've been very busy with college and such. *sigh*
Anyway I guess I'll just get right into it. I feel very lonely. I've been here 3 semesters and I only have a few friends. I tried messaging some people from my classes over Facebook. And i never got a response... God. Why do I feel so damn unlikable? Unlovable? I know I'm only going to school part time. But every time I go to class I feel like everyone has their clique and I had nobody. I was always the last to be chosen for team projects, etc. I just hate all of it. I don't know if I'll ever feel likable again after everything that I've been through.

Jay's podcasts are really good. I watch them on YouTube for free. Today, I watched his video about motivation. In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject. Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence: I am stuck because? I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment.

good for you at 3 semesters now! when i went, starting @ 40, i decided a lot of point of higher education? might be an endurance test. i still think so.
it is definitely pressing on and so constantly finding ways to choose which to prioritize; it is plain old hard. you are doing it and that is awesome.
so many people go for the social life of it. i'm sorry it makes it extra difficult that way. some people fall into it or always have - they may fall out of school too, but we don't see that part. i don't think you will.
extra gentle hugs, and soft high fives - you rock xo
