and smmath, I cant even begin to imagine what my teacher would do/say. She's actually across the country from us, but we've all kept in touch. She's planning on coming down for graduation, but I just don't know. I know for a fact that she will be disappointed/concerned, but I just don't want to let her down. When she left my junior year, she told me "promise me you'll stay healthy." So I promised her, and when she came down to visit we didn't bring the subject up. I didn't want to see the disappointment in her eyes. My friend has made it clear to me several times today that he isn't afraid to call her and I know good and well she will be calling me after he talks to her.
