Well, to be complete, they were trying to sell the place anyway to raise money for some expansions, then the Abbot decided to donate the money instead.

So does my frozen pizza cooker.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And I'm sure they have temples they wouldn't sell. I was being snide.
Possibly due to the fact that I am student teaching at a Catholic high school. Haven't started yet, but I'm find the idea QUITE hilarious.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just spent five minutes setting up a meal for Annabel while she squawled in her playpen. Toward the end, as I was carrying the food to the table by the highchair, she got mysteriously quiet.
Naturally she's asleep.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I hate to be all cold and shit, but I've got to stand over in the laughing corner with Betsy and the gelato maker. Because, gelato.
Whereas, frozen pizza.

Do people even take the ACT anymore? I never hear about it and I thought I'd heard at one time that they'd quit giving it. I took the PACT as, I think, a sophmore. The numbers 14 and 16 spring to mind, but I couldn't tell you which was which when it came to verbal and math. I never took the SAT or ACT for some strange reason. Fortunately, as a person in the military, it usually wasn't required to attend any of the colleges providing evening courses. And by the time I was going to regular universities, I had a substantial transcript to throw at them and my GPA more than sufficed. I wonder sometimes just what I would have gotten on the SAT or ACT. I was not a great believer in studying back then.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
They're completely reworking the SAT now. I think the new one will be totally in place within the next year or two. Pretty much, they're making it more like the ACT.
Do people even take the ACT anymore?
Yeah. From what I've seen, it's mostly in the midwest and west, though. I don't think it was even offered anywhere near where I went to high school (in NJ), but everyone I knew at college from anywhere west of the Mississippi had taken it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did someone upthread say you get 400 SAT points just for showing up?
Q: Is it true that you get a 200 on the SAT just for signing your name?
A: Theoretically speaking, if you just sign your name and don't complete the answer sheet, you would get a score of 200. That's because we don't report scores that are lower than 200. In reality, if we received an answer sheet that wasn't filled out, it would be considered an automatic request to cancel scores and no scores would be reported.
Also, if you get every question wrong, you get 0 points. So showing up doesn't guarantee you anything.
