I truthfully do not know. He's graduating this year and with another year to go for me, it seems foolish to try and continue on. Maybe we should just call it quits while things are still alright. It's not like anything can really come of it in the long run, right? Sixteen seems like a stupid time to try and figure that out.

Traveling sounds delightful, a real life experience to be had. I bet you would do well with that! There's something to be said about getting good grades and something to be said about the actual experience of being a healer and learning how that way. I bet you could make it work. I cannot even begin to understand how you're feeling, but I imagine it must all be very frustrating. I hope one day you get to do what is best for you, I truly wish that for you, Alice. I'm here to help in any way I can. You're so smart and so very talented you can do whatever it is you put your mind to.

There's another couple of visits between now and the holidays, I don't remember exactly, I'd have to check the calendar in the common room, but I'm tucked into bed already so I will let you know next time. Regardless, we should try to get together at Christmas, I can ask Mother if you can come stay if you want? Maybe after Christmas itself has passed, for a couple of days? I would really like that.
