<p>Dear gobosox : Thanks for your comments. Literally, we were talking about this subject around the dinner table tonight (January 2nd, 2013) and it was nice to see that my dinner table comments matched what I had written nearly one year ago (January 3rd, 2012). The essential sentiment still stands : College is a young person’s first step into total personal responsibility for an agenda. Making deadlines is part of that process.</p>
