smiley - cuddle Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be together again soon. It's a shame you can't find any suitable college courses over here. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS DRAGONFLIES! smiley - biggrin

This Dragonfly needs her money.... it's not a desperate matter(I mean, look at all the world travelling I plan to do soon!!!), but I do NOT want to pay off any loans...

::sniffles::

It's really not wise for me to leave my college, either. I'm very close to being established as a staff writer, and I'm becoming quite familar with the English Department... I love it there...

smiley - hug I just really miss my dearheart right now...

I've almost made it through Valentine's....

Thank you SO MUCH for responding. It's good to talk to you. I have another friend online, but he's not as mature as you. smiley - hug

Would try talking to my mom, but she's very cynical about love. It's gross.

smiley - hug I'm sure your mum just worries - that's what mothers do, even laid-back ones like mine!

Much as I'd love you to move over the pond, I think you're right to see your studies through, really. Sometimes it's best to put your head before your heart, though heaven knows I'm not a good example on that score.smiley - winkeye

It's always a pleasure to talk to you, and I hope you know you can always talk to me. smiley - smiley

YAY!!!

Yes!!!

Ian's a WONDERFUL guy... I am amazed frequently... He seems to be more patient about the moving issue than I am... of course, that could be for my benefit. But he and I agree that my studies come first.

And my studies are very exciting to me(not always, but I do prosper from them!!! THEY KEEP ME ALIVE!!! YAY!!!).... YAY!!! smiley - geeksmiley - hug

The two or so years I have left in Denver will also help my parents get used to the idea of me moving over the pond. Is that a coherent sentence!?? smiley - tongueout

My aunt says that "[RLnickname] will visit us more than [her uncle], and he lives in Virginia!!!". She's mad at him, understandably. But he's a professor with a wife and two kids. And everyone knows that professors DON'T get paid enough!!! smiley - steam

Did I mention that if I study in England I will have to prove the need and ability to work while a student!?? I think I might have in my Fan Club... I don't like the idea of not working while studying, and I imagine that school is more challenging and time consuming abroad... My point being I would only WANT to be a student...

But the disadvantages of not working while a student are a)less money, and b)Working helps you remember why you are earning a degree... smiley - tongueout

Well today I found out I need to prove myself worthy of a merit raise. We have new management now. The old management promised me a merit raise in early December. Understandably, the new management needs evidence....

Oh, who am I kidding!??? It is a bit s**t, isn't it!??

Well, this current treatment from my job has caused me to re-evaluate my life. A year from now, I plan to no longer be working at Wal*Mart and have an internship in publishing instead. Or work parttime for the school newspaper. I need to make steps toward my real career. The money and the retirement plan a job for Capitalism provides aren't quite worth it...

::sigh::

Good for you!

I had a similar problem with a promised payrise which disappeared with a change of management. It was quite a while before I managed to recover it - the second manager left and a friend of mine was acting manager, and passed the raise just before a new permanent manager was appointed (he didn't have to take responsibility for the wage budget!)smiley - erm

Hi there Draggers!
I suspect you may be interested in this link to my favourite museum anywhere, which I revisited a couple of days ago... (if I'm wrong in thinking you might like it please accept my apologies, no offence intended - I'm just basing my assumptions on comments you've made in the past...)
http://www.museumofwitchcraft.com/smiley - zoom
It's a fascinating place, especially if visited with an open mind.smiley - hug
