(Hey I lived in New York and survived). Baltimore (MICA) is even smaller, but not quite as metropolitan. Annelise wants to go for the bright lights. I have to let her!neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-68585872772619679862010-03-19T20:06:49.787-07:002010-03-19T20:06:49.787-07:00You know what Sis?

It will take the country gal into the city, but it's a mild city and has a lot to offer. You will hopefully see her blossom and grow in the city of Brotherly Love. She's a smart gal and I know she will be awesome there. Congrats Annelise!Shazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196666013653201878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-64600709427113631142010-03-19T18:12:39.738-07:002010-03-19T18:12:39.738-07:00Dive, Thanks.

Annelise loved this school! It is in the cultural district of Philadelphia. It is such a stimulating environment. I will just have to go with what she wants. (People just keep telling me that MICA is such a great school. So hard to get into, etc.) Today I got a letter that she is a scholarship finalist, but we didn't apply for the scholarship?

He had recruiters visiting from all over. He was drawn to a smaller school close to home where he would shine as a big fish in a small pond, but took the larger school in the hope that it would motivate him to keep improving. It has proven a poor fit but he has to stay now or lose his eligibility. So...he stays..at least until he starts law school in two years. But...wow...I wish he had followed his heart. Sounds like that is exactly what your daughter is doing. Good luck to her!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-54286526078421752942010-03-19T04:53:28.719-07:002010-03-19T04:53:28.719-07:00So now you should set aside some time to grin smug...So now you should set aside some time to grin smugly and think how well that reflects on you.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-85973691399211425392010-03-18T17:19:00.208-07:002010-03-18T17:19:00.208-07:00Thanks Dive!

Sometimes I do not give her enough credit. Apparently she has impressed a few of these colleges!neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-19273584279393750092010-03-18T02:20:23.970-07:002010-03-18T02:20:23.970-07:00Yay, Annelise!

You would never get as far as putting brush to canvas.<br /><br />For a non-breeder like me it is easy to say "launch your little baby out into the world and let her fly," so I'll take advantage of never having to experience the heartbreak of kids growing up and heading off for college and just go ahead and say it.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.com
