Over this weekend, SO shared with me that Bratty had indicated in her texts that she is 'not doing well'.  She said she is relapsing from her prior bout with mono and is feeling 'overwhelmed' again.  

I think she is a couple of months into her post-bacc program and her test grades are likely not what she hoped, and it is probably triggering a bout of depression.  Which is when Bratty usually amps up all of her mysterious physical ailments.  I did ask SO if Bratty had ever been screened for ADHD (because I think she has trouble focusing, procrastinates, then falls behind or forgets things - which then spirals into not keeping up with her classwork) and SO said no but then of course disagreed that she needed that.  OK, sure, whatever SO.  Put your head back in the sand now and I'll go back to disengaging.  At least he did agree that med school was probably beyond Bratty's capabilities so he is starting to see the light a little bit.  And at least I was able to put that out there, and it did not result in an argument between us.  We went on and enjoyed the evening together.

I was hoping that Bratty would finish out the year-long program but now I'm wondering if she won't abandon the post-bacc 2.0 altogether at the end of this semester.  She is paying for post-bacc 2.0 herself and I doubt she wants to pay for a 2nd semester if her grades aren't very good.

Is this the end of Bratty's doctor dreams?  Will she go back to her medical assistant job?  Where is her Nutter GF lately?  What about the lease in her communal house?  How is the poor dog, is it still alive?  So many questions left unanswered...
