The next phase is – kids’ summer internship/programs/travel. I’ve noticed it among many parents – same people for whom the college admission process was a competitive sport. Now they’re exchanging the latest on their kids’ internship at Knopf or Dreamworks; intense language/art program in Oaxaca; volunteering in medical clinics in Kenya & Nepal or running errands for the governor… G-d help us all.



Haha! And to think that I’ve been bragging to my friends all summer that S is working full-time at Peets’ Coffee… I really need to get with the program, I was thinking that him just being able to hold down a job that requires him to get up before noon was a feather in my cap. :)
