My daughter Jessica flew off to attend Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh, PA last weekend. We have received some excited
and happy phone calls since her arrival so all seems well. She called last
night to say she tried out her new baking set in the dorm kitchen and even
though she thought she was making cookies, the chocolate brownies that turned out
were much appreciated by her hall-mates.
Jessica is sharing a big room with two other girls also in CMU’s
Science and Humanities Scholars Program.
She likes her roommates and hallmates. For her first
Freshman term, Jessica is signed up to study: Calculus, a Humanities Scholar
seminar on War in Society, Interpretation and Argument, 1st Amendment Law,
and a computing class. Jessica is auditioning for two choirs this week as well.
Classes start on Monday, 27 August.
My son Paul starts his Sophomore year of High School on Tuesday. He gets his
wisdom teeth out tomorrow – on his birthday. We said he could eat as much
ice cream as he wants after the surgery. Paul is getting
used to being an only child but is not sure he likes it.
