By the way, I really like the French Fry Truck idea. Can I take the lead in your A Round of Financing?

What a beautiful and witty sentiment. You will not be that hermit; you are a leader.

@ teal!:

Yup! They're popping up all over the place. I'm looking at Michigan State, UBC, Tufts, UC Davis, UCSC, Bainbridge Graduate Institute, Presidio Graduate School, and a few other places. I'm hoping to share more about the process as I get further along!

@ Heddy and Derek

Thanks friends for the encouragement! I've been getting in these negative moods -- out of character and not very productive, but your support and belief in me means the world.

Don't sell yourself short, Jessica. You were always one of the smartest people I knew.

I think most of us feel the same way you do, Jess, about not knowing exactly what we want to do and when discovering what it is you want to do, feeling late in the game, not caught up, or accomplished - I know I do. And even those who know exactly what they want to do, it's still a process of discovery and negotiation between our ideas and desires and what's out there in the real world. Given all of the changes taking place - just to cite one example, I never thought I'd live to see a healthcare reform debate in my lifetime - who knows what the world will look like in 2-3 years when you're out of school? So, "...throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain. And I've no doubt that of the many wonderful people I know, you are one of the ones I don't need to say this to - so just take it as more encouragement from my little corner of the world. You have so much to offer Jess, I've got faith in you! Can't wait to see how things evolve next... xxx
