Good luck to your daughter! As I told mine, these AP tests don't really matter much. Sure, you can get credit if you do well, but it's not a big deal and nothing to sweat over. I was thinking that she'd do better if she wasn't all stressed out about it.

Yes, I did see that Obama was speaking at Barnard. It caused some friction with Columbia as some of their graduation activities (for the General Studies college) had to be re-arranged due to security issues.

From what I've read, Columbia College (President Obama's alma mater) saw it as a snub because they've been asking him since he was a Senator.

What is hypoallergenic's plan for the summer?

Making as much money as she can! She has two babysitting jobs which, together, make a full time job. She and her friends are also planning a trip to Chicago via Amtrak.

She is considering looking for a third job, in waitressing, because she kind of wants that kind of experience before she goes to NYC due to the income potential if she could get a job as a waitress, but we'll see.

How are the APs for your seniors so far? The boy had 1 last week, 2 today, and 1 next week. French was today which he said was horrible but the Comparative Government exam was easy.

My daughter didn't think French was too bad...she was worried about it because of the new format/test design this year. She said the only bad parts were that one of the French speakers mumbled in the listening section interview (with 2 speakers), and she said she got cut off before she could finish recording her presentation. She thinks she did well on the other parts, though.

I highly recommend Megabus for the Chicago-Detroit route. Not as romantic as the train, but it costs like $3.

I missed this.

When is the trip? You know... I could spy and report back. She doesn't know what I look like, does she?
