What feeds your soul?

Yes WW, one proud dad here. :)

It's an Advanced Study Program. You choose one subject to study, and over 5 weeks (living on campus-classes 6 days per week mornings and recreation in the afternoon) you study what amounts to a year long college level course. It's quite intense and requires a commitment to work, as evenings will be filled with additional studying like homework, reading, or discussion groups.




Yank....I think you might be familiar with the school I'm refering to, as one of your former graduate school roommates or friends had attended there.
Thanks for the added info. Sometime I'll have to share a story about my own experiences there, gained while I was teaching nearby (a little south and east, along Rte 4).

That's a fabulous opportunity, btw. Please pass on my best wishes for her application.

Yes, I'd like to hear some of those stories.

And thanks for your wishes. :)
They involve ping pong and beer.

And remembering all the fun and intellectual excitement that I enjoyed that summer definitely feeds my soul today.

And rightly so, Scaly.

Thanks for clarifying for me. That sounds challenging but exciting. Good luck to your daughter...hope she enjoys.

my daughter, the girl that thinks everyone is smarter than her, was recently nominated to apply for an ASP next summer at a well known private school. The opportunity to apply is by invitation only; the application is more intense than any college one I have seen.

She's trying to decide if she wants to apply; I hope she does, even if she gets declined, it would still be a learning process for her.

That's awesome, Scaly.

that a very old, very dear friend finally found me. we'd had a falling out years ago and she took a little more initiative in getting us back together than i did and i'm exceedingly pleased that she did. i have a completely new level of completeness in my life now. :heart:

The prodigal EJ has returned!

Who's bringing the fatted calf? :D

I have no fatted calves but I can make chocolate caramel pecan cheesecake. Can I bring that?
 
Watching my husband let the kids "help" him cook. He's incredibly patient with them in ways that I'm not.

just be in love with the beauty before mine eyes.


love this season ~

A graduate coming to my class just to say hello and tell me how he is doing. It is so very rewarding to know that I helped him with his decision to go to college and the industry which he chose to start working in. He is doing quite well for himself and that is so very soul feeding!!! :rose:

I'M HOME.
I just want to thank everyone here for helping my dad while I was away.
It's great to be home where I am getting lots of cuddles, I even get to stay up later than my big brothers. :devil:
Thank you so much for all your love and support.
Little Feet.
Oh Qman, I'm sorry it took me a few days to find this wonderful news! I'm clapping my hands that Little Feet is now home. :rose:
 
Seeing my little sister become the only freshmen to get accepted into an organization at school that is extremely competitive. She worked so hard for it, and she's following in my footsteps which makes me feel good.
 
i know this will sound perverse, but trust me, in the context, it makes perfect sense.

WFMS: that someone i'm worried about is made of sterner stuff than his gentle manner would lead some to believe.
