My daughter Jessica is home from her first Freshman semester at
Carnegie Mellon University, CMU.
(Actually, she is off skiing with her boyfriend and his family
but she is home based even if not physically at home.) She got straight
A’s on her first report card and is looking forward to harder classes
next semester. She seems very happy at CMU.
We have been hosting many parties for her friends from Junior High, High
School, and College since Jessi came home. Listening to the teen chatter, it is clear
not all Freshman students find their new colleges as much to their liking as Jessi has.
Two or three of her friends are already in the process of transferring to new schools.
I am glad that Jessica’s school is a good match for her.
Jessi sang in four CMU holiday choir performances last month and has been invited to
perform as one of the three genii
(or
three boys) in Mozart’s opera
The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote), at
Saltnote Stageworks in Washington, D.C. this summer. She hopes to make
Music her minor at CMU but is still thinking about what her major area of
study will be.
