Cumberland University rejected Barry's application. I called this morning because he seemed to be getting the run around. I didn't ask why they rejected him. I figure it had something to do with his transcript. But colleges have been known to accept autistic, schizophrenic and bi-polar people before so I can't understand why they'd turn him down.

I feel badly for him. This was the ace in the hole that I used to get him to Lebanon in the first place. He was doing so well. I'm not sure how this will affect him. There isn't anything I can do. I am sitting here minus a job and straddling the fence. I couldn't take care of him or help him in any way. He needs to stay where he is. Peggy is going to see what she can do to help. She knows someone who works at the college.

I feel about the same as he does- rejected. I keep sending out my resume, filling out applications and going on interviews only to be turned down. I know there's a job out there for me somewhere. But I'm losing the faith. And I feel so alone.
