<p>What are you as parents and your student doing to ease the waiting game these next few weeks?</p>
<p>Movies, good books. Anything. How about schoolwork? HAH.</p>
<p>Spring break, planning prom, doing her various ECs. Schoolwork - hahahaha. As my daughter informed me, except for the AP tests, the last 9 weeks of school are a joke. Even the teachers get senioritis.</p>
<p>Our spring musical is next week and DD has a part–so she is busy running lines and singing her show tunes. She has a strange calm about her anyway… now me,on the other hand…</p>
<p>My art schools HS senior jsut finished the last of her portfolio competition work last night. She is now deciding what work to enter in the all city HS art exhibition, designing her prom dress and planning a weekend trip to NYC by train. </p>
<p>She doesn’t seem too bothered with the waiting.</p>
<p>For me, OTOH, it’s torture. And one of her schools seems to have lost just about everything that was sent: grades, sat scores, recommendations, even said they never received her application fee. We keep hearing about the items onesie twosie. FRUSTRATING!!!</p>
<p>College is the last thing on my daughter’s mind (although she received her final notification yesterday…an acceptance!) She just finished helping with the Gala at her school, which is the annual student-organized fundraiser and is a huge deal at her school. Her senior recital is in less than two weeks (a graduation requirement), and she has the female lead in the school musical which opens two weeks after that. She already told me that she’s not even going to try to make a final decision until the week of April 10th. I’d be going out of my mind…except I’m costuming the musical and am sewing non-stop. We consider it a major accomplishment when we find the time to go to the Post Office to collect the mail from our box!</p>
<p>I check it every day as soon as I get home from school.</p>
