She graduated cum laude, which is more than her parents and grandparents can say! :-) I'll surely write about the trip to Strasbourg, though that and two others of my upcoming events all happen next week and weekend!Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-47369003628794883102015-07-01T22:17:28.040+02:002015-07-01T22:17:28.040+02:00Oh, am I jealous of your string cheese and cheese ...Oh, am I jealous of your string cheese and cheese curd consumption! And congrats to your daughter on her graduation! Always exciting for a parent. :) Lawrence looks beautiful... I've only heard good things about that school so how nice that you have a family tradition there! <br />Looking forward to hearing about July... we were in Strasbourg last year and absolutely loved it.

By the end of August even most kids are ready to go back to school! As a teacher, if I hadn't had those 3 months to recuperate, I might have gone mad. First month of school is general spent reviewing material they forgot during the 3 months of summer, though. Luckily for the students there's no graduation test in the U.S., so they don't actually have to prove they've learned anything during their 12 years of formal education.Ami im Schwabenlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148291164062226269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775665740005660017.post-54956929745708438822015-07-01T11:02:14.638+02:002015-07-01T11:02:14.638+02:00Three months of summer holidays?
