He will start in August of this year. It’s a tremendous opportunity - practically no 17-year-old has the opportunity to have a complete residential college program paid for. App State is a high-side-of-average school, and the Honors College will give him lots of connections and career possibilities.
If his Honors College essay was good enough for admission, I assume the other three he wrote for the Merit Scholarship application would also be adequate. One of those was about coal ash pollution, and we all learned about Thallium poisoning, and I read two relevant murder mysteries!
That is such good news all the way around! Tom will no doubt benefit greatly from this opportunity.
In other news, I will go early in the morning (late for me) and get my hair cut so I don’t look so much like a raving lunatic.
Maintenance came today and FIXED the bathroom light problem, so I don’t have to turn on the high-powered heat lamp to brush my hair!
Friday, I go for my final post-op on my cataract surgery, so I’m hoping he tells me to dispense with the drops. Putting them in four times a day is becoming a nuisance. *sigh*
And that’s about all the news that’s fit to print for one day...
Fingers are crossed. :)
