<p>How did everyone weather first semester?</p>
<p>It’s so good to have D home. She actually came home a week early due to my mother’s death, but her profs were very understanding and let her take exams on Reading Day. She handled the stress well, and her GPA is well above anything she saw in high school! She seems so much more focused and grown up. She’s talking about adding a double major and two minors, and plans to meet with her advisor as soon as she gets back. </p>
<p>She has, however, not had luck finding an on-campus job. Admittedly, we didn’t put much pressure on her and she has been living fine off the savings from her summer job. Are your kids working at school?</p>
