Polter - she took AP Chem last year.

Cindy - I. Well. ok. When you put it that way. Me, I think of my high school career which included zero AP classes, much cutting, and so-so grades.

2.5 hours and I'm running away from work.

I thought this was a cash exercise in the first place, Sunil.

Also, she's almost done with the VM S1 DVDs I bought her for Mother's Day. She thinks Duncan did it.

I thought that was totally probable, up until the killer's id was revealed. Wasn't Duncan Rob's fall back? I seem to recall reading that if the mystery leaked, he was going to change it to Duncan.

Sunil, do you have to do this every year or are you done?

Polter - she took AP Chem last year.

She took AP Chem as a sophomore?? What the frell kind of school is this?! Go her.

I thought this was a cash exercise in the first place, Sunil.

Well, my money sure is getting a work-out, if that's what you mean.

Sunil, do you have to do this every year or are you done?

Just the once. Which is why she is deaf to my complaints. Whatever. I'm tired of ever asserting myself.

Well, my money sure is getting a work-out, if that's what you mean.

I thought you had to give them money. Now you're talking about closet organizing systems and diamonds. I'm just confused, is all.

She took AP Chem as a sophomore?? What the frell kind of school is this?!

Heee. Last year she had AP Chem, AP European History, English EXP, Advanced Algebra II, and Spanish 3. She didn't take the AP Chem test, but got a 3 on the AP European History test.

She is still waffling on what she wants to major in, so she hasn't been looking at school requirements much yet. We have talked about how different colleges view AP classes though.

I thought you had to give them money. Now you're talking about closet organizing systems and diamonds. I'm just confused, is all.

No, the money was for diamonds. I didn't make that clear before. Or, well, I didn't know that was the One True Reason to spend money before. Because diamonds are forever, don't you know. They will always remember that diamond bracelet I bought them and think about how fucking awesome I am.

Most schools require you to take classes outside your major, so one definite thing she should do is take AP tests for anything she's totally not interested in being forced to take in college. For me, that was anything in the social sciences like government and economics and history and all that business.

P-C, have you gone on an anti-blood-diamond spiel to your mom yet? That could be a bit of fun.

I did that in my head afterward, actually. It was really fun except I couldn't think of the right participle to pair with "human rights."

Are you buying the diamonds, or are you just giving them money, and you know they'll be spending it on diamonds? I still can't tell.
