Shit happens. Fortunately I made enough money in adult to pay for that whole fiasco. And I learned my lesson about stretching myself too thin.

My grandfather (made millions in the citrus industry in Fla.) passed away a couple of months ago at the age of 91. And one of the pieces of advice he gave me over the years was: "If you try to do two things at once you'll only do them half as good"
