I wondered after graduation whether it had been the right thing for me, as my self-esteem was knocked massively there, but perhaps it would have been anywhere? And as time goes by I think it's a worthwhile thing to have on your CV. And I did love so much of it... complicated stuff, I think.Imperfect Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086807062993117102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079353160770482445.post-54791871463009028582010-10-23T17:52:09.575-07:002010-10-23T17:52:09.575-07:00Just thought I'd drop a quick note... still re...Just thought I'd drop a quick note... still reeling that after spending one hour a week squeezed into Lucy's room we never got to know each other much better. So many similar experiences... although I'd done the mold-breaking many years before (and had been the odd working-class accent in the "posh" school for seven years).<br /><br />The parents turning back and looking is the killer, though.

Took a long time to admit to her that I just didn't want her to see the tears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766213009757900187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079353160770482445.post-8023421330411024732010-10-21T10:16:21.638-07:002010-10-21T10:16:21.638-07:00Hello!!
