So about a year ago I was laid off from what was for me a very good job. I have since had two retail jobs that I hated and where horrible on my knees and ankles and leaned on the friendships I have with two people for part time income working at the places they run or own.

i don't blame you for becoming cynical after all that you've been through and i'm surprised you're not cursing the heavens already for what's happened. it's ok that you've changed, ppl do change and it's part of coping with life.

If I let myself get to the point where I have nothing to say but "my life is suffering and there is no hope left" then I'm not worth it to anybody, and I would hope that someone would pop my head off just to save everyone the trouble.

So fight hard for success, for improvement, for superiority. Your friends, we fight with you.

As an FYI

I don't know if this matters much in retrospect, but FYI, here's a little snippet of context as far as the quality of the architecture program at U of A.

I once got lost in the architecture building. No joke.
