Such a great showing of support from everyone here!

And polygon, love your quote "There's too much beauty to quit."
One of my favorite quotes is "Life is what happens to you when you're making plans."
Lonely1, I was so touched by your wanting to spare your Dad the heartache of you making that poor choice.
F1DO, I am curious about what you are majoring in and if you have already been on Fall break. Keep doing one day at a time..that is more important right now than looking down the road of life....reminds me of that poem...
