loves company

[fox]

I hear from the crazy woman who was stalking me last November (of whom I saw neither hide nor hair for months and months, and who now seems to have calmed down quite a lot [eta: and has formally -- or, as formally as one can over e-mail -- apologized for that whole episode, huzzah]) that her housemate had the same result as I had, i.e. passed but advised not to stay on.

I admit I suspected this, because his meeting with the committee was right before mine and he was in there forever, which, it doesn't take more than about fifteen seconds to say 'congratulations, you've achieved distinction', but it takes rather longer to have a conversation about whether there's any hope of redemption.  So, as I say, I had my suspicions, and now it turns out I was right.

But let me tell you, I hate -- and I mean, am now in floods of tears over -- the fact that I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

Sweetie, I'm sorry I didn't see any of this sooner. It's perfectly normal that you feel a sense of relief - it's not like you are actually wishing ill upon this person. It's simply a matter of perspective, knowing that you aren't the only one to whom this happened. Don't beat yourself up over it.

And hey, we'll hang, come fall.

Hugs.

Ah, hon. It's a normal human impulse. It doesn't mean you're glad something bad happened to someone else. {{hugs}}

Exactly what she said. And, oh. There aren't words. But I'm thinking of you, okay?

What they said. You've nothing to be ashamed of here. Nothing.

*hugs you more*

Absolutely, utterly normal. And I'm sure you'll both be doing something great this time next year.
