Story of my life, right here

I know, I know, how rude of me to pick up and run without saying a word. I’m sorry to leave you all hanging. I got my grades back a week ago, and apparently, I didn’t make the cut. My overall GPA for my first year in law school falls below the required minimum. There’s still a chance that I’ll be able to go back to school next fall, but I’ll have to go through a petition process. Even that does not guarantee that I’ll be going back.

I’m disappointed, but not necessarily sad. I’m frustrated, but not necessarily angry. I feel as though I don’t have much direction right now. My future is once again a hazy, abstract limbo. Such is life. I’m sorry that I’ve been neglecting this blog during the month of May. I haven’t been thinking about much, anyhow. Ending a school year with a potentially jobless summer is very liberating. It’s all too easy to fall into those old, familiar habits.

That’s all for now, kids. Thanks for taking an interest on my progress, and for all of your words of encouragement. I’ll be back soon. That’s a promise.

    Sorry to hear that your first semester didn't go so well. I think the first semester always tends to be the worst, as your life tries to adjust in a direction you haven't taken for awhile, but don't give up yet. Do the petition. We believe in you dude, and I'll be praying for you.

    Sorry to hear about the grades. It was once said of me that I fall in the sewer and end up smelling like roses. If you fell in the sewer on this one, perhaps a pleasant floral scent is in your future as well.

    Put in a nicer way, I'll quote from a song: every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

    Here's wishing you good luck and happiness, whichever way it turns out.
