Deacongirl, how lovely!! It's just amazing to see their pride when truly hard work pays off so handsomely like that. Way to go!!




Today was DD15's first day of college classes. She is thrilled, and completely at home in that environment. No problems whatsoever taking notes, fitting in, or having a great time being engaged. She has four professors that she likes already, and the only down side is that she is a bit petite for a monster 40+lb backpack, which is unfortunately the curse of the commuting STEM student. That was just with her mini-laptop, her chem textbook, and the reading text for one gen ed class.

She was also one of just a handful of young women in her computer science course of well over 100 people. So she wore day-glo pink, just to put a bit of an exclamation point on things, I guess. grin Last I heard from her, she had polished off her chemistry chapter and was happily coding away in Python before hopping a bus to a friend's house to study chemistry together and eat pizza or nachos.
