Dear knitters,

For Thursday the 27th, so the first OYO meeting this summer, I was hoping we could meet at CHOCS around 11. That’s in the morning. We need to talk about Alex’s fabulous idea for the mother bear project, like how we want to exactly get this started and what our goal is for the summer. Please let me know if you can make it! I haven’t gotten the pattern yet, so bear with me. Pun intended.  Sorry, I had to.

Just a reminder: all makeup work is due at the beginning of class tomorrow. No exceptions.

Hey there,

This week we were thinking of having a picnic, food and all. Due to graduation being Thursday, the picnic will be Friday at 2 p.m. at Woodward Park. If this is a problem for anyone or you are interested in bringing food, please let me know!

Congratulations Seniors!

For the good of the class, comment the links to college applications below.

Youniversitytv.com offers virtual tours of universities around the country.

Commonapp.org—One application, 390 universities.

In lieu of a final this session, we’ll kick off the college search with a few applications to get you comfortable with the process. Fill out the OU and OSU applications to the best of your ability–we’ll look over them tomorrow and I’ll give you some feedback. Also, bring three other applications from universities of your choice.

In case I don’t say it enough in class:

Visit colleges this summer.

Get a group of your friends (and a parent or two) and hit the road. Integrate college visits into your vacations. Talk to people back from college for the summer. Talk to the people with the job you dream about. ((Honestly, there are many vocations out there that do not require a regular degree. Find someone successful and see how they got there.)) The College Visit is a rite of passage; dive in.

Last thing:

I know a number of you signed up for the Senior Visit Day at TU; if you didn’t, there is still time.
