As I wrote these replies out, my Uni just contacted me to say that I have been approved for re-enrolment...

Up we go! Good luck rubs off on you when I talks with you.

I haven't been able to sleep for months, worrying over whether they would approve this, so thank the fucking fuck, this is pretty immense.

God, that sounds awful. Maybe get your hands on some Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius. You worry too much about things you can't do anything about. We all do, but it may be a bit worse for you than for the rest of us.

It's also strange to me that they can apparently reject people based on arbitrary criteria. I always knew if I would be approved for re-enrollment or not.

Now I have to make the most of this chance, of course.

Do your best. But even if you had not been approved, there's a thousand ways to live well without a college degree.
