    Believe me I’ve tried - sometimes you just have to roll with it

    She doesn’t, she’d be horrified to know Jess was thinking of dropping out. We’ll tell her what she needs to know, when she needs to know it

    Having said all that, I’m pleased to report that I was wrong. We actually had a really nice couple of hours
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    We’ve worked through everything college says she’s not done - 4 she thinks she has, 2 she didn’t know about and 2 she’s doing tomorrow as she’s not in college. We’ve told her tutor and have asked some questions. We’re just focusing on getting her through this bit and to end of term, then go from there

    She’s not, she’s already annoyed with me pushing her to do the work
