Turns out I hadn't made any mistake at work... it must have been late friday apprehension creeping up on me. It was the professor who was mistaken. Everything is fine.

Today is my first day at the gym without my buddy Megan. She made me promise we would keep calling each other, trying to encourage continual use of barbells and exposure to excrusiating pop music. I won't have a problem with it: I'm going deaf in my twenties and I have a knack for lifting thick items. Remains to be seen if she'll fall off the wagon. I can call and tell her to get her ass to the gym... but will she listen?

One thing I've learned is that nobody listens to my advice.

the scorpio in me is very uncomfortable telling lies... in the end, it's all a mascarade and the truth comes out... so why not just deal with it?

but, on the other hand, i agree with the idea (which I learned from Tough Love) that everytime you hold a person up, they will grow to rely on you and never stand up for themselves. It's best to let someone discover how to stand up for themselves.

exactly. i would have not put it better. an advice doesn't cost anything, and it's up to the person to use it or not. tell them the truth - don't handle it for them.
