She'll be 17 when she graduates which means she could have a Bachelor's Degree when she is 19.

    I don't know the full process yet (I haven't talked to her mother about it yet) for her getting in, but man, that would be awesome.
    Keep your fingers crossed!

    Update.

    Last Tuesday my daughter got notice that she has been accepted to the college where the early college high school campus is. On Wednesday morning she called me and said that she was notified that she got into the early college high school.

    She will be starting there in the Fall. I'm very excited about the opportunity she has and very proud of what she has accomplished and I'm hopeful that this is the beginning of big things for her.

    The website I'm writing for switched editors and this new one is dicking me around with rejections due to stupid shit. I applied for Bleacher Report in hopes to get on there and leave that douche behind. Sucks because I was making some great dough since October and my articles had over 2M views since then.

    Thank you. All credit is squarely due to my daughter. She has put it the effort to achieve it.

    I didn't know you were being paid. Good for you. I hope it all works out in your best interest.

    As an aside, perhaps ram should put some effort into something similar. You know, be productive. Maybe he could surprise Mother with a Christmas ham or a new window unit for the trailer. Falling short of those miracles, maybe he could simply pay for his own toys when the new games come out.

    Yeah, a lot better than expected, about $250 a month; which is why I'm a little pissed at being dicked around.

    So..... I was selected (which completely STUNNED me) to serve on a jury the past 2 days in a criminal matter here in Harris County (Houston). I learned more about what lay people think about law/lawyers during the 2 days than I have in the 10 years since law school.

    Meh the jurors actually "liked" both sides attorneys (except one who didn't like one of the prosecutor who allegedly cracked a smile when a witness was clearly caught lying the juror didn't think it was funny) I didn't see the smile but I remember the testimony and it took some effort for me to keep my poker face and not bust out laughing myself.

    Son of a b%$#&h!!!

    After purchasing City Skylines last week and absolutely loving the game... my barely two year old computer with very impressive specs (might I add)... will NOT boot up. For two days I have done everything and with no succcess. All of the tests before and after show the cpu is fine but I get a blue screen with a frown telling me I need to use my repair windows installation media to fix the computer start up. The best part... Dell no longer gives these to customers. So I contact Dell this morning and they will be sending me an istallation flash drive. However, they will ship it from Toronto... while I live an hour outside of Vancouver. Therefore it will most likely not arrive until next week. Even then there are no guarantees that I will not have to wipe the system... though my fingers are crossed that "refresh" windows will do the trick.

    It's just so frustrating especially since I am on holidays this week.

    Okay rant over...

    Update... props to Dell Canada. They used Purolator Courier and got me the reinstall flash drive within two days of my request. I was up until 4AM restoring and reinstalling Windows and mostly everything I lost. It's just bizarre how I needed a full reinstall. There were no signs, no performance issues, no viruses, etc. One day the cpu started to restart itself and three hours later it was dead. I haven't had to do a full re-install since my XP days in the early 2000's. I was shocked how easy Dell has made the process. Wow!

    The Anything Thread

    I'm going on another Disney cruise this summer and I bought a GoPro3 camera for our excursions.

    Side note: I'm 100% certain that they'll show Age of Ultron onboard the ship so that's where I'll see it. Ironically, I saw the original Avengers for the first time on a Disney cruise.
