Collegebound, I smiled when I read your post about the freedom of being 17 and let loose in NYC! My kid would love that. She has not even done that for a DAY, lol. So, lo and behold, what is she doing next year? Going to NYU/CAP and being let loose 24/7!! AND she will be 16 1/2 when she arrives. If anyone ever told me in my wildest dreams that I would ever let MY kid do that, I woulda said, no way. But, well, she is doing it. Life is full of twists and turns and here we are today! I hope she meets you when ya get there. You are both in CAP so it seems inevitable. Another girl from our state that my D has known for years is also gonna be in CAP (and room with her) as well as a couple male friends. It is kinda cool that she will be hooking up with some of you kids or parents' kids on this forum. So, um, can you show her the subway and all that jazz cause you have one summer of being "let loose in NYC" under your belt???
