She is actually very interested in studying abroad. (Even has a few places in mind.) However, she wants to have a major before she goes anywhere.

@EmmyBet: I’m sorry that our daughter had problems as well. I am sincerely hoping that mine will have similar results regarding being open-minded.

@Singersmom07: Your son’s story sounds just like my daughter’s boyfriend’s (another person she often compares herself to). He now has a great internship and is doing incredibly well. I’m glad things worked out for your son as well.

@momofthreeboys: I’ll mention the library science thing to her, she’s at a large, public university (not her first choice, but definiately the cheapest), so I figure that there should be a large number of areas for her to choose from. She refuses to see her advisor. Not advisors in general, just hers specifically. Apparently she went in for help and whatever she was asking, the woman said that it wasn’t her job to do that.

@momofsongbird: I’m worried that she won’t be happy with just finishing. She’s too focused on everything being “perfect”.

Thanks again to all of you.
