Like this: "Take some time off and get yourself together Hunter so we don't have to expel you."

It took me nine years to get my Bachelors degree.

The dean told me, "I think you should go on to graduate school, BUT NOT HERE."

He didn't even let me enroll in the two additional classes I needed to complete my double major.

I guess he was pretty sick of me.

I was mostly harmless, rarely a danger to myself and others, and a late night amusement for the campus and local police; a pleasant diversion from the usual crap they had to put up with.

I got some really swell genes in my family...

Best wishes to you and your daughter!
