At college night recently, a few of the college reps told K-Bug that the fact that she was taking two AP classes her sophomore year counted more than the actual grades she earns (well, she has to pass and all that).
Likely true -- it's a lot less common for her to be doing advanced work this early than for a kid to be doing it at all in this era of everyone takes a zillion APs and all the schools know all about weighted averages.
(disclaimer: IANAadmissionsofficer. But I did temp for them.)
Interesting to know. I'm just glad to see her work hard, not matter the results.
Totally unrelated to anything, I heard back from my Computers and Humans' professor. He's willing to work with me. So, I'll be doing my presentation next Wednesday, and I'll be turning in my late assignments then as well. I'm very relieved.
ETA: This is good, because end of the withdrawal period was *yesterday*.

Waves on Edit
I have an interesting discussion to bring to the table, but apparently, we're having a staff meeting at 3pm (yes, it's already 3:21pm), and I don't want to have to go away in the middle.
NEW TOPIC: COMING SOON TO A BITCHES NEAR YOU!
My high school didn't do weighted grades and I remember some grumbling that the class valedictorian didn't take any AP, honors, or any advanced classes.
My wife's birthday is tomorrow. I made her a "card" that was a 8.5x11 photopaper page that was completely covered with a montage of photos from throughout the last year. Also I got her a Tuscan Sun rose plant even though I wasn't supposed to get a gift.
She didn't get you a birthday present!
t /still a little grudgeful on that one
