Wednesday Miscellany

 Largely copying my response over from the Frugal Girl blog post, because.. it's that kind of day! Random things that are top of mind for me right now.

• We've hosted a ton of AP physics study groups at our house over the past ten days, as everyone prepares for the final. I've cleared Trader Joes out of snacks!
• DS17 found out that he didn't get an immediate entrance into one of his target colleges yesterday (and, the one DS18 is at) & needs to provide his first semester grades. It's not a no (and, it happened to dS18 as well), but he's so bummed & freaking out about the other schools he applied to. This process is so stressful! I'm trying to help him stay calm & focused on the things he can control.
• I have a ton of research & prep to do for an interview on Monday. I'm excited about the company, but know nothing about the vertical industry, so I need to dive in. I've started a list of all the elements I want to research & understand more to be prepared. 
• I'm still in the running for a couple of contract jobs I applied to, so we'll see what happens there. 
• DS18 had two finals at night yesterday. I can't imagine taking tests at night. I'm an early bird. Luckily, he's a night owl.
• I'm still trying to figure out how to get DS18's skis to him. We'd planned for him to fly back with them, but the shuttle that goes from the airport to his college doesn't accept skis. The logistics are killing me!
• We upgraded DS18's bed to a queen. I need to list all of his matching furniture & twin bed on FB. And clean up the mess we created last night while doing all of that. It also meant ordering new bedding, a mattress, etc. His bed had a good run, as we bought it when he was 2. 

Okay, that's enough miscellany from me. What about you? What's top of mind for you today?
