I'm not sure if it made me somewhat more apathetic, but there was a time when I actually tried to change people's views.

Until I realised I might as well be pissing to put out a house fire.

This is unnecessarily poignant on my part...
Back in September, I commented on a UK university thread that I was applying for Cambridge. A kind chap, name of Staeny, saw this, and TG'd me to offer any help with personal statement and the whole application process. And he was, indeed, a great help. I'd TG him now and then updating him on my progress, and he'd TG back being reassuring or useful. Last time I sent him something was when I came back from interviews.

Found out today that I got an offer. I went on this to tell him and thank him one last time, but alas... his nation has gone. I was never able to tell him that all his aid went much appreciated and ultimately resulted in something good.

Alas, alack, etc
