Oh man, that sucks. Food poisoning is the worst. I'm glad you're feeling a little better but I hope you start feeling all better very soon.
I'm sorry about the program, probability never seems to have a bearing on disappointment. "Am I throwing away my shot?" If that was the kind of lifestyle that you wanted for yourself (corporate lawyering), then maybe, but it really doesn't sound like it is. There's nothing wrong with being a teacher librarian (the biased opinion of a lifetime library worker) and though I know there can be a lot of cultural expectations involved it's you who's going to have to live your own life, not your folks (who I'm sure just want you to be as secure as one can be in this life). As far as I'm concerned, a life of adventure and having a positive impact on the next generation sound like worthy pursuits.
Ah! \o/ Static Shock! I loved that show! (And OMG that was so long ago, and I feel so old!) It totally deserves a reboot, but only if it is as avant-garde now as it was then, ya'know push the envelope. I will be down for any Static Shock posts. :D
