The eldest girl just found out that she is getting an academic scholarship to her first choice school. Full ride, tuition+room/board. Looks like everything but the books. And she hasn't filled out the FAFSA yet...
Foo - She actually pulled it off

Gee WOW Hurray!
That's so great! I hope you tell 100 times how great that is. I always had to work so I could pay a few k's every semester... and that was WITH the fafsa.
Now you just need to get a .50 caliber and head-shot-snipe any boys that might derail the plan.

She really hasn't had that much time to socialize, what with all the studying, the debate tournaments, robotic competitions, and I think she's supposed to be in a musical before the year is out.
As for the boys, apparently I can be rather intimidating, physically, without even realizing it. And any and all prospectives have to watch the movie "Teeth".

She knows the only way she'll get a car is if she buys it herself. We might go in half on a motorcycle/scooter, though.

I'd highly recommend the Motorcycle Safety Course (http://www.msf-usa.org/index_new.cfm?pagename=RiderCourse%20Interactive%20Tour&referer=RiderCourse%20Interactive%20Tour) if you go that route. I took it after having my license for 10+ years and wish I'd taken it right away. I learned plenty.
Oh, and congrats to you both.

Congratulations to her.
You can get a nice bike with the money that you don't have to spend on college. ;)
