Me: do you ever feel like you're so absorbed in your studies that you kind of lose touch with reality?
Me: like the problems you once had don't seem as significant as your desire to reach a scholastic goal?
Me: That's a paraphrase of the letter i wrote you
JL: i think i've dealt with that but i think im basing this answer to your question
JL: in the realms of both my scholastic and career goal
JL: i wanna be an optometrist, as a sociology major rowena
JL: did i tell you that?
JL: and ive never felt so alive in knowing MAN, i want this so bad
Me: nope, never, i should have asked sooner
JL: and i used to feel bad about not knowing
JL: being surrounded by people
JL: who know what they want
JL: and i realized
JL: what your degree is
JL: doesnt have to correlate with your career
JL: and then
JL: when it clicked
JL: "absorbed in my studies"
JL: would be when i buckled down and really like studied the stuff i needed to prepared myself with if i wanna get into a school
JL: i didnt feel bad anymore about the "little" things
JL: which i centered myself with
JL: because i finally am into this realm of something..this learning...because i want to be there
JL: and its offered to me
JL: and everything else is like "well will this help me? and if it bugs me will they understand?"
JL: i thought that would be selfish..but then again, i got to thinking, im doing ME a favor...because in the end, its like preparing myself to GIVE my all when that time comes
Me: YES
Me: that last part
Me: man, JL
Me: i miss you
Me: i really do
JL: i miss you tooo
