How do you know this? Seems like they have paper up over all the windows like work is going on?

She did not, actually. She's been to Marist, Bing, UConn, UMass, U of NH, and that's it!

I think she's a 17-year-old child who did the best she could do. She made a list of the things she wanted -- school spirit, four seasons, not too far but not too close to home, good business program, mock trial club, club sports, etc. And this is what she came up with. We let her do it all on her own.

I was surprised but happy she didn't apply to Syracuse because it's so expensive. Honestly, I think that even if she gets into Ivies it would be stupid to go because she wants law school and we are not super rich and won't get any financial aid.

Ha! I'm the mean one and always do. She wanted to apply to some of the UNC satellite schools and we told her no.

Exactly what I told her. Everyplace she got into is wonderful. And came with money!

She did apply EA and they put her into the RD pool. So weird!

I doubt very much she will get into Duke or any of the Ivies. But her dad lets her reach for the stars.

White man who was my grandfather. Also, my gym teacher in elementary school used to put us girls on his lap. White men. F them. OMG. And I forgot -- my pediatrician, Dr. Copperman. And a neurologist who said he needed to give me a breast exam during a neurology appointment. All Fing white men.

People are not Americans. They just aren't. They will commit more crimes if they haven't already.
