Another boast, regarding USian specific tests

Aerin the fierce, the amazing, the constantly aggravated, got 233 on her PSATs (out of 240, which, for those of us who did it mumblety years ago means she got three questions wrong. Three.) which puts her firmly in the running for National Merit Scholarships.

She was feeling defensive until Al and I started reminiscing about our own test taking days. Al was Comended, but didn't score well enough to be in the running. I was only in the 97th percentile (only!) and no match for my brilliant if erratic friends. 

moar Aerin milestones

aaaand - driver's license, accomplished.

The nice comment was "dunno what you did last time (to fail) - you were nearly perfect"

now Al is fretting @ insurance
