And Hypo's first term grades are FINALLY in. She did not fail The Social World or Astronomy as she feared she would early in the term. In fact, she didn't even get any C's or D's. She was praying for a C in The Social World and she did better than that. She thought the intro Astronomy class was going to be "these are the planets, these are stars, these are constellations, this is the galaxy, these are meteorites, these are comets", which she would have enjoyed. Instead, it was highly technical and heavily science focused about the composition of planets and why they could or could not sustain life, including planets outside of our galaxy. NOT her cup of tea at all!
She's very excited about her schedule next term. First Year English (has a special theme topic, I don't remember what it is), Psychology, Psychology lab, American Politics, and... I can't remember the other class! It might be a women's studies class. I know that all of her classes for this winter are in topics she is considering for a major so she is hoping she will have a better sense for them by the end of the term.
Today is "Boyfriend meets the parents" day. She and her BF went to church with her dad and are going to breakfast afterward. Then they will be coming by here. BF is a junior at the University of Michigan. She met him last summer and he went to NYC once in the fall, saw each other at Thanksgiving and have spent some time together while she's been home. Finally, the parents get to meet him.
She leaves to go back to school a week from today. She'll be there a week early because she is engaged in Barnard's Emerging Leaders Program and they have a week of leadership workshops and seminars called, appropriately "The Leadership Institute."
