That's got to be awful. I don't know how I would have reacted to failing out—for all my affected nonchalance, I really do care that I'm not doing well in school, and to have my plans for the next few years suddenly fall out from under me would . . . not be pleasant. I hope he finds a field (and <i>eventuellement</i> a program) that fit him and keep him engaged. One note of cheer: if he does decide to go into library science, there's no better place in the country to do it than Urbana-Champaign! My program certainly doesn't compare. Aïe.

I'm so glad you didn't fail out, because my significant other who was your roomie a few years back could tell the exact same story as yours, only with a different ending. And that ending has been very, very straining on all involved. He's surviving, and trying to figure out a new career in life. One, which incidentally, includes a questioning glance toward library science. Oh boy.
