Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

At least I did get an email back from the Very Offended person accepting my apology and sounding like it won't travel any farther. I so hate that I have to deal with this Middle School bullshit.

Yep. Reason #13425 that I am glad she's retiring next month.

Epic, that sucks royally. I'm very sorry.
ION, thanks for the congrats for wee cousin, but it looks like the family is having second thoughts. Wee cousin is very stressed about finishing all of her requirements, so now they are thinking about having her graduate in December of next year and maybe starting college in the spring.
Her friends (who are, in her words, "not people I would be friends with if we hadn't grown up together") are shunning her for daring to be smart and leave school early. I hates her friends, yes I do.

Eh. She'll make brand new friend who she'll get along with based on more than geography.
My mom used to say that every 5 years or so, I would outgrow my friends and be miserable. She is so right. I've had a core group of friends I've kept since we were freshmen or so, but about every 5 years it seems I have to look around and drop some of the new ones I've made.

Well, it sounds like they're more acquaintances than friends anyway. Not everybody who's "nice" to you is actually a friend, you know?
(Often a painful lesson to learn, of course)

That is a rough one to learn.

Not that you asked, but I would advise her to go ahead and wait until Fall if she isn't going to finish this year. I don't think that we're unique in the fact that we do not provide the structure and support for spring entrants that we do for fall. In addition, she will be new to college, not just the school. (our spring orientation is skewed toward transfers, not new entrants) Also, she may feel pressured to take on more in order to finish with her freshman classmates in 3.5 years. Clearly, she's capable, but it seems like unnecessary stress.

Yeah, unless she can finish over the summer somehow? I think a winter start in your freshman year would be incredibly difficult. It was tough for me when I transferred mid-year and I wasn't 17 and just out of high school then.

Whichever way she decides to go, I'm glad she's got you for support. Every so often I remember an incident when I was 8 or 9 when one of my friends (very like your cousin's friends, we just happened to have grown up together) complained because I used too many "big words". My Aunt Marlene happened to be over and when I told her the story she told me to go ahead and keep using the big words, and if my friend didn't know the meaning, she could just ask me. I keep meaning to write her a Thank You card or something for that. I often think that I might not have been strong enough to Be Smart yet myself back then, but a little encouragement went a long way. I haven't seen that girl in decades, but me and my vocab are thisclose.
