That is great news, Suzi! I'm sure he's thrilled and you are too! 27 is a really good score on the ACT, too, if I recall correctly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes. Such a change from a year ago. The college advisor suggested he get in the habit of two hours of studying for every classroom hour. He is not a studier (is that a word?), so that will be a challenge.
Personally, I'm thrilled. He got a taste of scholastic praise (based on his ACT scores). I'm hoping that will provide some inspriation to prepare for the rigors of college. Just cause it is a community college doesn't mean it won't be tough.

Awesome, Suzi! Here's hoping he likes that taste of success and craves more!

Adventure Aide, Sports Training, and Sports Medicine? Dang, my high school didn't have anything like those! Not that I probably would've taken them anyway, but still...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Excellent, Suzi!

Yay for good news!
These past two days, Chumley has been drinking water like it's going out of style. I just used Minet's glucometer and his blood sugar is 340 (if I did it right) which is Not Good At All. Vets office is booked up today, but I can call at 8 am tomorrow for an appointment when they get a cancellation.
Did somewhere a Detect Money chip go off in my bank account?
In other news, my desktop computer now crashes as it runs a disk verification process.
I'm staying home from tutoring this afternoon, as the disaster area that I'm projecting around me would probably inspire a student to drop out.

I just put 4 new tires on the Echo (and it needs a new serpentine belt ASAP) and the kitty's ingrown claw was a $100 vet trip (admittedly, close to half that was the antibiotic, which was expensive because I opted for the injection that lasts 10-14 days, rather than having to pill the cat twice a day for 14 days, because THAT is where paying extra is totally worth it). Plus, you know, Christmas. So I feel you.
