The outcome

Well I didn't hear back from the school on Wednesday...like I had hoped I would...so I emailed them yesterday... To quote the Dean's email: "The faculty determined that it did not have jurisdiction to hear your appeal because our School of Law Rules do not permit appeals from the Dean's decision in readmission cases. The decision of the Dean is final. Your petition to the faculty was dismissed." Right now reality is really beginning to set in, classes start Monday and I won't be there. I kept holding out hope that something would change and I would be going back. Even though I told myself I wasn't going to get my hopes up. I feel the same sort of disbelief and shock, only not as bad, that I felt last year when Duck Boy [aka Mark] told me he was leaving. Still I want to thank everyone for all of the support and good thoughts.

sorry you are having this placed in your path.. but you'll grow from it, I'm sure. No matter what happens..

Life has thrown many obstacles in my path and sometimes things are so hard I don't know how i keep going... yet i am constantly surprised by the ability I still have to enjoy myself, have fun and find ways to challenge and improve myself. I guess what i'm saying is that life isn't easy, but it is fun and rewarding when we least expect it. Keep your head up. It will get better.

I'm sorry Lisa.

Sorry to hear about it. Now you will have a new journey to take on

I'm sorry Lisa! *Hugs*

I know this is cliche however do remember that where one door is shut another door opens. As you saw me post the other day, I remember when Cathy was dropped from Belmont. She had to get away from it all and let things settle before she could make a decision as to what to do next with her life. Life is difficult sometimes and we just have to tie a knot so to speak and hang on for awhile. We never really know why things happen like they do. I remember back in 1999 getting a Director of Operations job that brought me back closer to home. Everything about that job fell to the ground and I quickly found myself relocating with my old job back to Chicago. I was upset, down right mad, and really screwed up in my head. About a month after I moved back to IL my father passed away from a sudden heart attack. You see that Director of Operations gig gave me 7 months to be close by my Pops to be with him for a short time before he left this world. Everything happens for a reason. Ron

Well said, and I can't agree with you more. Give that beautiful wife of yours a hug for me! I miss her bunches.
