Merimask Goes On And On

She is smart (so was I) but she's also a ~much~ better student than I was. I could not show up for half my classes and ace the exams, so I was lazy. Barely passed because I coasted on my natural smarts. She, however, has been encouraged (by me, 'cause you hate to see your kids make the same mistakes you did) to learn how to study, which is such an important skill in college. She wants to be an exchange student (guess which country she wants to go to?) and I told her they only admit the best students into those programs, so she's really kicking ass in school this year. :-)
