Only 6 more months of High school. Today is the last day of my last winter break from high school. Can't wait till June 20th.

Are you decided yet where you'll be going next fall? One of my nieces is also in your position, still looking at a myriad of choices, juggling admission deadlines, etc.

I've sent in all my applications. I applied to 3 total schools. I know where I WANT to go - I'm just waiting to be accepted. I am also thinking about doing 2 years of community college and then 2 years at the school I want to go to just for the simple fact that it will be so much cheaper. The school I want to go to is a private school so it is pretty expensive, but I am waiting to see what I get in scholarships from there as well.

Also, the state schools I applied to would require boarding my first year (1 just makes freshmen dorm there and 1 is too far to commute), so they would be about the same as the Private would be without dorming, but I can commute to the Private school easily, so that would be a whole lot cheaper then the state schools anyway plus the scholarship. I am expecting to get at least $7,000 but I know that's not a guarantee of course.

April my daughter has now been accepted into Psychology at the University of New England.
Now she wants me to kick the tenant out of house No.2, so she and her friends can live a university party life rent free.
BUT....dad has different plans.....they pay rent !!!!!

Hello, PT! I sure missed you yesterday while I was snowed in! But I thought about all of you, and your dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, fish, birds and other creatures... and that helped a LOT!

Where were you stuck that you didn't have access to the Internet?

At home. I think because of the wind (?) I just couldn't get a dependable connection. Had power but couldn't connect.

Oh that really sucks! I'm glad you have it back now! We didn't have it too bad, just some wind and about two or three inches but I know how bad Chicago got it since most of my friends still live around there.

I am not able to sleep in any more because of Shaza and her cardboard box she has to always be nibbling on!

Hey Elyse,
Can you send me some of that snow stuff ???
It's just that I'm laying by the pool at the moment, and I'm too lazy to get up for some ice cubes from the fridge to cool my beer down.

The other people aren't tall enough to be seen above the snowbank!
