    Everything is its right place.

    Now she can tell her father "I told you so."

    Indeed. More time for scholarship applications.

    cool

    She's also telling her other parent; "Sooooo... about my new smart-phone..."

    Dad really gets played by the Ninja Princess sometimes. Me, though, I keep my mouth shut because he has some of this coming to him.

    I feel a little bit like Dorothy waking up back in Kansas after a major detour to Oz.
    Glad to hear she got in. I notice it's the administrators not the faculty that were the problem.

    DD still doesn't have her letter in hand (as promised to early applicants), so at 4:15 PM on New Year's Eve, she called and sweet talked them into telling her-- well, she actually pointed out that, like any other conscientious applicant, she NEEDED to know whether or not to pull the lever on "additional applications" prior to the deadlines at "midnight."

    Apparently the dean thought it was okay to tell her in that case. wink

    Sorry, just saw this. Good news - you must be so relieved!
