I think in the long run I appreciated the social aspects of school more than the academic, although I was always a good student. Homeschooling is a good option for kids who don't do well in a traditional school environment or in a place where schools are sub-par. My parents didn't hesitate to tutor me when I needed help, though, and they arranged for a private tutor to teach me some material that was not covered in school. less

One of my feet started bleeding so I took the flip flop off and walked with only one on for the rest of the way. It was maybe a hundred yards at most.

The comments from senators at the time were fairly unambiguous about disapproving of SCOTUS appointments during an election year. So it's going to be very fraught. I'm sure we will see a lot of obstruction. Furthermore, even if the Republican nominee gets through, if the Dems get control of the Senate, they may expand the size of the Court, etc. so it may be a long-term loss for Republicans.

Either way, turning 18 is fun--though being a legal adult and still in high school was kind of annoying to me!
