She’s Home!

My daughter
Jessica came home safe after finishing her Freshman year
final exams at Carnegie Mellon. Hooray! We are all very happy
to have her home. Of course, we have to share our talented and
energetic girl. Her summer plans include:

• Contuining her job as a part time Java programmer for Stanford University Libraries
  in Palo Alto, CA
• Working as a part time intern for
  U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein
  in San Francisco, CA
• Singing 26-29 June 2008 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.
• Working for my mother (Eleanor Creekmore Dickinson) in San Francisco, CA
• Spending a week at the
  
  Lair of the Golden Bear –
  U.C. Berkeley family camp in the Sierras.
• Learning and teaching at the karate dojo.
• Working on the new
  Carnegie Mellon University Chapter for the Association for Computing Machinery. Jessi is their Webmonarch.
• Hanging out with Matt (The Boyfriend) and other friends home from college.

OK, so we will see her sometimes. But she has devoted this entire weekend
to hanging out at home and we are very happy to have our wonderful girl back.
When he heard Jessi happily singing German opera in the shower this morning, John
got a big grin on his face and said: “She’s home!”.
