She's a very upbeat student, and I'm guessing she will make the most of it.<br /><br />feMOMhist, I tried not to do rainbows and unicorns. Really, the first thing I did was just send her the link to direct her to their info, and then she showed up the next day saying, "I love it! I want to apply!"<br /><br />Fie, I'm definitely excited for her, and I'm sure she will keep me posted! Recently, another former student e-mailed me that he is spending a year at Oxford! I love when I hear about their great adventures.Good Enough Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531793545583712309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220995767842596634.post-11152020179906963552011-11-18T15:43:39.830-08:002011-11-18T15:43:39.830-08:00Wow.

That is terrific news.<br /><br />I'd be a little freaked out too with the "responsibility" I'd feel for the change in this student's life, but she's ultimately in charge of what happens at the other end and she did make the decision to apply. I can only imagine that a school that has both a good English program AND a strong program in her other area of interest would have many more merits in her eye than an alternative where both of her passions wouldn't necessarily get as much attention (either staying where she is now or finding a different school than the one she'll be attending). Hoping for a good outcome for her :)This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220995767842596634.post-41317951613229003702011-11-18T08:35:58.580-08:002011-11-18T08:35:58.580-08:00It sounds like you've sent her in the right di...It sounds like you've sent her in the right direction which is a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220995767842596634.post-26255308175844337402011-11-17T22:48:53.165-08:002011-11-17T22:48:53.165-08:00feMOMhist, It does feel good in some ways, but I&#...feMOMhist, It does feel good in some ways, but I'm also a little bit like, "OMG, what have I done?"<br /><br />T30SB, I hope so. She's going to my second school. You know, the one in the South.<br /><br />Gaga, Yes, probably. But she's very eager for something different, and I don't think she'll feel as out of place in the Bible Belt as other students would (or as I did!). But still!
