Where we arrived safely despite an energetic thunderstorm.

Stopped at an Olive Garden (Daughter1111's fav) where there was no line for dinner along the way. There is always at least an hour wait at the one near us.

Penn State after breakfast in the morning.

Glad you're there safely. Have a good weekend.

Have fun this weekend!

Have a great time!

Okay, most of the time I would agree with you. But as others have pointed out, time alone with a teenage daughter who actually doesn't mind being seen in public with you is rare.

To see her speak up with well thought out questions about what classes she should take to prepare her for what she believes will be her college major is amazing. After a generic tour, we ended up in a room with two professors and about 5 students. All other students had already completed 2 years at another campus and were transferring in. She seemed at ease and spoke up with confidence.

As much as I loved going to Penn State, I am not sure it is where she will go. But alot of it will be up to her to weigh and decide since she things to be thinking things through quite thoroughly.

Of course, it's daughter1111's choice. But it'd be nice if she chose your alma mater!

Does she know what she wants have as a major?

At this time she wants to go into secondary education, leaning to the social studies curriculum. A lot can change between now and a degree, but she is looking at colleges that have a strong teaching program.

I thought she might go towards the special needs area, but she doesn't think so at this point.

She gave up her only study hall periods to help provide one-on-one assistance to a girl mainstreamed in a PE class.

That's very sweet of her.

The way you are appreciating your daughter is the best. I especially love it when parents appreciate who their children have become. I know what they have accomplished is great as well, and I just get a deeper warm and fuzzy when who they are gets pointed to.

Thank you.

I think you missed the point.

Harrisburg sucks.

I guess I didn't get it.

That's what she said.
