My diploma will have cost my dad & me $19,261. Mostly my dad. Sigh.
I can’t freaking believe that I am trying to go to grad school, and rack up more debt.

About Me
- the Yearning Heart
- Born on a farm in central Kansas; my dad lost the farm during the 1980s farm crisis. I grew up yearning to be a famous actress, and got a degree in theatre. A few weeks after I graduated, I went to visit my beautiful friend in Texas, and she died suddenly - leaving behind her beautiful husband and her three beautiful boys. I decided to stay, and care for them. I fell in love with them all, and after so much yearning, I am now the woman of this man. This is the story of how the heart approaches what it yearns.
I read:
“See first that the design is wise and just: that ascertained, pursue it resolutely; do not for one repulse forego the purpose that you resolved to effect.”
— Wm. Shakespeare, 1702

Your diploma may have been really expensive, but you stuck with it, and you earned it! That is an awesome accomplishment, and i am proud of you! i am sure that your dad is proud of you too, and thinks it is worth every penny.
i wish that i had gotten my degree some times. i was not a bad student until my mom died. i kind of fell completely apart after that. i don't know if i will ever go back. There does not seem to be much point in it right now, though things may change....
Some times i can't help but think of myself as kind of a failure for not finishing, but i just have no motivation or reason to go now...
