Never before, nor after this post, will you see me talk like this... so take it for what you want.
There are obstacles that everyone comes across over of the course of a lifetime that can either choose to define who we are or can cause us to never recover from what we were. I would probably say I just went through one of those this past week before the start of my semester but I do not look at it as a lost cause. I do not intend to dwell on it much longer and I certainly do not wish any ill-will to those that caused it. Instead, I take it as probably one of the most valuable lessons I could probably learn and I am quite grateful for that I experienced now at quite the young age of 20.
Some would call the incident a careless oversight. Others are looking at it as an overreaction by the other party involved. Certainly there are two sides to every story and for every honest mistake, there is a deliberate action of deceit. Absolutely there is a sense of disappointment at what could have been but it is not the easiest thing to just move from especially since many people have still yet to learn of it and will ask for explanation. I have nothing to hide... those who ask will get as much of the story as they desire.
I do not seek no pity. I do not seek revenge. I do seek to move forward.
This was probably a big mistake blogging about this.

wow, nicely said. It was definitely quite a devastating way to learn a lesson, but any how you will grow from this experience.
no matter what, we are all proud of your achievements.
Being more than twice your age, and knowing nothing of what actually transpired, I can say this. Bravo. If you can continue to use 'non reaction' as your response to all the bumps in the road that life will SURELY be sending you, then you are WAY AHEAD of the game. Silence is the loudest voice you'll ever have.
