Yeah man agreeing with GF, try not to get too upset with her. When you're that age the future doesn't exist and if she's doing the no thing to every possible possibility, there may be more underneath her silent responses. Maybe you and Mom need to have an open chat asking her why she's not positive towards the things you guys feel are worthwhile? Let her tell you the reason why, rather than framing it like she's missing out...

On the plus side...getting enough high school credits to skip the first year of college??? Most kids at her age probably don't recognize what an absolutely huge benefit that could be. Don't be too hard on her if she doesn't take advantage or become enthused about future schooling. At her age I was.....well, you don't want to hear what I was doing.

i have a 14 and 12 year old now lance and feel your pain. trying to get an idea out of them for anything to do is like fucking pulling teeth

I didn't apply myself at all until 11th and 12th grade when it actually mattered for getting into Uni. That said, even when I was trying I (and half the class) needed tutors for AP math. That shit was hard The downside of AP was that I didn't have much time for extracurricular stuff. I stayed in band, played one sport and volunteered a bit to keep my resume rounded, but I missed a lot of music lessons and games because they homework load and studying for finals was soul crushing. First year university was like a vacation after that though, so fun, worth it.

Here's the difference in the frustration I was feeling. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if it was just a regular visit to the school for a regular upcoming school year. But, this is a program she had to apply for, had to get teachers to recommend her for it, it has limited spots available, and it will be a LOT of hard work that she hasn't had to deal with before.

Wind is blowing so hard I'm surprised we haven't lost power yet.

How long is it forecasted for and what are the sustained speeds?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Sustained wind speeds above with gusts of anywhere between 60 an 90 mph depending on the area. Supposed to stay this way until tomorrow afternoon.

Trying to double bill me? Nuh-uh, motherfuckers. I've got a digital and a paper trail of the payment that was already made. This is your damn mistake and I absolutely will not suffer for it.
