    Glad you have another ENTP in the house! (What's your profile? I find that "P" know all about "J"s but it's much harder for "J"s to get inside the heads of "P"s. You don't happen to be a "J"? If so, learning to 'bid your time' and wait for the right moment is going to be a really challenge. But it sounds like you are getting to that point.

    If she'll do the math with grumbling, then that's fine. If she won't then is there anything at all that she will sweat over? Maybe a service project that appeals to her sense of justice? Or something that gives her a chance to use her imagination to bring joy to a group? You job is to wait for what excites her, keep exposing her to new areas, allow her to be bored and then catch that next 'train' when it comes through.

    It seems like if school isn't a 'good fit,' then at least it isn't a bad fit, and things will change soon enough. I think the main thing to do while you wait is to find as many ways as possible to actually enjoy her.

    Love and More Love,
    Grinity

    Oh Grinity - what a lovely conclusion - "finding as many ways as possible to actually enjoy her". And yes, of course, I'm a 'J' - an INTJ. Thankfully I've got my hb to translate and interpret for me, otherwise I'd be lost with DD!! I'm OK with the I and E differences and have even learned how to deal with the S's in my life. But stuffed if I can work out how to manage Fs!!!! They drive me insane - but that's probably another topic...

    Looks like I need to just bide my time and wait for the next train. Nice to know JonLaw that others face the same ho-hum'ness. I'm really hoping that our new music composition/theory tutor (who starts tomorrow) ignites our household with passion and excitement for composing songs.

    I must commit to getting more sleep this week and therefore being more patient!
