The kids have everything ranging from total physical and mental impariment to really light autism and Down syndrome. One...

I know that I’m an unpredicable blogger, but it’s at least worth a shot: my weekend story. After my mind-melting AP Latin exam, the standard assembly (me, Eddo, Jer, Kilizzle) met at the mall (!!!) for some afternoon chilling, before we broke off and I ended up at the last ComedySportz of the season at FSHA.

lenachen: The project is one of the longest-running—and probably the most exhaustive—longitudinal studies of mental and physical well-being in history. Begun in 1937 as a study of healthy, well-adjusted Harvard sophomores (all male), it has followed its subjects for more than 70 years … But hidden amid the shimmering successes were darker hues.

There was a time I would be really worried about an AP. That time has passed. I chose my fall courses already. Checking OUT!

So I have combed both the MIT and Brown academic calendars, and have created one supercalendar with all of Eddo and my vacations. As our Thanksgiving breaks are pathetically short, I hope we can choo-choo ourselves down to DC and stay with my relatives.
