Before I pass out...
...I thought I'd mention how wonderful it is to have great professors. Every quarter here at Barat, they do what's called Twilight Breakfast, and a bunch of professors and staff members serve a late-night breakfast for the students during finals. That in and of itself is really special, and it's usually a fun time had by all.
Anyway, I went because I was hungry (expelling all you ate in a day will do that, huh?) and nibbled at some pancakes and scrambled eggs and bacon and mucho OJ. And, of course, Dr. Anderson was one of the profs serving this quarter, and she plops all kinds of food on my plate. So I eat, we talk, and I'm getting ready to go, and I hear her talking to the other volunteers about how she's worried about me, and how good a student I am. She totally didn't mean for me to hear it, but it was one of those times where I had normal-people hearing. Plus it's Old Main where everything echoes. But what really gets me, is the last thing I heard her say: "he's going to be a damn good counselor and do a lot of good for people".
You have no idea how much this means to me. That woman is the entire reason I became *interested* in psychology, and now to hear her say something like that? It's like having your hero tell you you're just like them.
And that makes all this BS worth it.
