I was thinking about the statement people always say to encourage students with their studies at uni: 'It is the best three years of your life!' My first attempt at uni landed me in A&E, my second attempt was abortive, and my third attempt is eating me alive, though rest assured I am determined like never before to use this time to gain a career. I guess it is all just benign insincerity with these third parties.
My years at university were some of my best. I know that's not true for everyone, but maybe these people are sincerely assuming you'll have it as awesome as they did.
Lillikoi and Kuraudo, anything we can do to help you feel more motivated?

Today (well it's night now, but when the day comes) I'm meeting my paid "friend" Anne (She gets paid a small salary from the Norwegian state to spend some time with me...) We meet up every 14 days, and it's 7 years now since we first met. Today we have planned to make food at my place. which means she pic me up and we go shoping for ingredients for what we have decided to make, then we drive back to my place and cook, eat, talk, mayby play games, and have a great time. We usually spend three hours together.
That's a great service. We have companion care in the U.S. but it's not cheap, so sometimes, churches or other groups have volunteers. It's a great idea because there are too many isolated people who go unnoticed. Also, you have me laughing over here with your politically incorrect jokes.
