Good News on the Ashley Front...

We have been having an ongoing, frustrating encounter with the headmaster of the school I want Ashley to attend.

He is SO SLOW about returning email. So I feel like I'm nagging him when I repeatedly send emails over and over asking for confirmation that he received the previous email.

Me: Here's the email!

Him: ...

Me: Did you get it?

Him: ...

Me: Did you get it?

Him: ...

Me: DID YOU GET IT?

Him: ...

Me: *mutter mutter mutter*

Him: ... ... ... (and finally...)

Dear Amy,

Thank you for the transcripts safely received. Ashley is obviously achieving well, which is very encouraging for a smooth transition at this tricky point. We would be very pleased to offer you a place for her starting in September.

Her precise programme will need a bit of careful planning, and I would rather do this with you and Ashley 'face to face'. When will you be arriving in the UK? In the meantime, I can mail you some further information and details if you give me your address in the US (depending on when you'll be here, of course).

With best wishes, and looking forward to meeting Ashley,

Headmaster


Yay Ashley! Her most groovey excellent grades got her into my FIRST CHOICE for her school! Yay her! She is awesome.

And that is a sigh of relief for one more thing taken care of, and one less thing to worry about.
