Yesterday I had an important paper due at law school. Last week I had the court hearing, then NHBagworm came to the house and gave me bills to pay and items to sign to give him title to the car, etc (what a jackal- there is no way that I am cooperating in any manner with him ever again), so I had to have my lawyer enforce the stay away (except for a possessions pick up at a date and time certain and I'll have witnesses and a video camera there). I had law school classes and attendant work, an assignment on short notice, and other such items. Many more nights with no sleep, but I felt that I was making good progress. One day I was so exhausted that I unknowingly left my car running in the parking lot when I went to class!!!
I had jaw and dental surgery the week before, nothing major. Quite late the night before last some of the work disintegrated and I was bleeding and did not feel at all well. Yesterday morning after no sleep because I was completing my paper (the court business has really eaten up my time money and energy) I got dressed and left for school. My bleeding started again and I had to stop, change clothes etc. I became quite sad, as I felt it was the last straw, and that too many stupid things were happening to me, and that my position had become so indefensible I could hardly even speak about it myself- I thought that I would be thrown out of school. I had to meet with the Dean and felt certain that they "had" me with this newest example of troubles in my life interfering with law school.
I went to class and then saw the Dean. To my great surprise the entire focus had changed (Why?)- instead of urging me to leave, they (Dean and assistant) were telling me that I have great potential (????) and that they were going to do everything possible to help me in the school?!!?!!
I then went to the professor who had toyed with me a bit (I did not feel that I should fight back) , had required me many times to talk to her after class (making it hard to be on time for the next class because of my dodgy foot and cane, which was extremely tension- provoking) and she was different as well. Her face was softened and she even laughed at my jokes in a sincere way. She had always praised my contributions in class but had seemed annoyed that I was there with all of my declasse domestic violence and police issues and such (the Dean had filled her in). Now things are completely different (my other profs do not know about the Bagworm issues and are always wonderful to me).
Whatever has happened, I am so relieved. I have tests next week and the Bagworm will be out of town until the 5th.
Thank you so much for nudging me my Friends- Bagworm has not been able to take my law school away from me, depite his many tricks!
Love and Thanks,
Changing
