Though I know I lag far behind you in imagination, abilities and talent, your passion for the written word has encouraged me to at least dream my own dreams and follow my own heart ... it doesn't take a degree to accomplish this task.Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-91391702386131245912012-02-05T00:47:48.299-07:002012-02-05T00:47:48.299-07:00This Ashford University sounds like a big joke -- ...This Ashford University sounds like a big joke -- and an unnecessary burden on your brain and your bank account. "Cut and run" sounds like the best strategy. It sucks that you worked so hard and got so close but if it's not all it was supposed to be, then it isn't worth it. You'll be a lot closer to what you really want to do if you focus your energy in a different direction. <br /><br />I want to know more about this University of the World, cause I soooo need to enroll there. Sometimes I really get down on myself for not taking writing seriously a lot sooner. So if you're feeling guilty for not following through at Ass-ford, just remind yourself of how far you've come with your writing, and how close you are to being freaking published, man! Let us know how all of that's going. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of your book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-75231596569630358012012-02-03T13:07:33.587-07:002012-02-03T13:07:33.587-07:00The first few lines of Kenny are good to quote, bu...The first few lines of Kenny are good to quote, but the line about not counting your money 'til you leave the table is crap. Any gambler worth his salt knows where he stands, at all times.<br /><br />Having said that, it is always a good idea to not throw good money after bad. And having said that, there is probably another option open to you, if you want it. You could probably transfer your credits to a non-shady university at some point, should you ever feel the need (or desire) for that piece of sheepskin.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-56224857879248146642012-02-02T08:02:21.402-07:002012-02-02T08:02:21.402-07:00Jenn, I call myself a jack of all trades..maybe no...Jenn, I call myself a jack of all trades..maybe not a master of any..but had fun and still am..I'd start this, then leave, start that, then leave..but you know what my dad always told me..it doesn't matter how many things you leave, you have learned something in the process and no one can take it away from you..<br />Wishing you luck and sending you love..now you know you can't lose..haha..CarolynRosebud Collectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907760433209723539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-44263099119021287382012-02-01T13:37:45.953-07:002012-02-01T13:37:45.953-07:00I quote Kenny ALL the time...one of the best lines...I quote Kenny ALL the time...one of the best lines ever and absolutely a good life motto to live by!<br /><br />Cut & run indeed.<br /><br />Its true Mum though I won't mention the part that many of those who didn't go to college died poor and only made money on their art after they were dead.

There's a big difference between giving up and cutting your losses.
