Congratulations! You and Natasha over at Pacific Views are like my “I Can Do This” pole-stars. I’m in the phase where I rehabilitate my horrendous GPA from the first, abortive attempt with some community college. Then, this fall, the shit goes down in earnest. I remain terrified and excited (and a bit older than you, I think, so some of us are taking even longer than you did).
To paraphrase River Phoenix from Sneakers, that’s not easy, what you just did. Congrats again.
