Drew, I think that this is incredibly brave of you. I said the same thing to Jessica last year when she withdrew from Vanderbilt. I know it was a really hard situation for her, and she is so much happier now. I am constantly amazed by the courage that such an action must take.

Let me know if you'd like to get together and talk--it's been a long time since I've seen you! I'm going to be in town over Easter weekend and all summer, and my cell number is 615-794-7034. I'll keep you in my thoughts throughout this transition.

Well, Sir, I must say that I am a little disappointed--not because I think you're making a mistake, mind you, but because I think you are an upstanding fellow. I never ran into you very often after the freshman year, but on the occasions when we crossed paths, I greatly enjoyed your company. You always treated me with the utmost respect, and I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your good-naturedness ( ... )

oh, my drew. i know what you are going through in a big way, and i just want you to know that i have much love and support for you, as well as many inane things to talk about if you ever just want to call and chat about whatever. st. Ignatius tells us that God works through our deepest desires for ourselves, and I know you will reclaim the ability to hear that joyful voice inside. lots of love comin' atcha from katie j.

I have to say I feel like an idiot for not recognizing this. Part of being a good friend is to be able to help each other when needed, and I feel like I let you down.

I hope that no one you've encountered is giving you a hard time over coming back home. It sounds like that's what you need right now, and I pray that people are respecting that judgement call. Personally, I've recently realized that I definitely need to have much more of a social life. Hopefully you and I can work on that together. I'm looking for a workout partner, by the way...

good for you for coming to terms with your personal needs, and being good natured about it. sounds like you're prepared to make the necessary changes for yourself, and that's the important thing. although its an entirely personal decision on your part, you happen to be my third friend this academic term who's decided to withdraw from university. so far, the other two are entirely happy with the new paths they're taking, and I can only hope the same for you.

rock and roll,

Jen
