3-4 years of my life i'd rather be doing other things with...

I had this dream of working for the FBI that I gave myself over 110% to a long time ago. For reasons that were completely out of control I had to, on very short notice, give up that dream in a very short period of time. It is probably a bit of an exaggeration but, to me, it seemed like loosing an arm or something like that.
I worked so hard and gave so much to do what I was doing but couldn't quite cut it. Perhaps it is more like being 10 feet from the summit of some mountain but, for whatever reason, not able to get to the top. SO frustrating!
That part of me that is missing still calls. Sometimes the itch is worse than others. I usually get it to go away by coming up with some asinine plan that I'll probably never follow through with.

I think you can safely update Raul to 196.6 in the spreadsheet.

I totally hear you and understand very well what you are saying. My motivation is a little different.

of course, your commute would still suck.
I actually wouldn't mind going to the Secret Service and investigating $$ Fraud.. but i don't have a strong enough accounting background for this. and i hate accounting classes.

That wasn't the only reason but a big part of it. I had low-low grades in a couple classes that shouldn't have been there. I did WAY better on the re-do. I also took the opportunity to take a ton of Criminal Justice classes (I wanted to use my law degree to work for the FBI) so that was part of it, too.
Alas... I never used a lick of it. The best laid plans...

The best laid plans... 3 majors,
Two colleges,
Mono then lyme disease back to back years,
and two girlfriends whose priority was WAY above my school work at the time.
That's gotta add up to about a year, right?
I've had things in pretty good shape for the last two years though (including my current girlfriend, who actually has improved my grades 
)
