Over Christmas break (which ended today) she did an online nutrition course to help ease the workload for the spring semester. She worked her tail off every day, sitting at the computer with earphones in watching lectures, making notes, completing projects, and taking weekly tests at the local community college.
As hard as I tried to get on her nerves, i.e. constantly waving my camera in her face, giving her odd jobs to do, having her constantly take the dogs out, she still seemed relatively happy.
We enjoyed tea together (hers was in her Jack mug), we spent time chatting when she had a few free minutes each day.
I did try to get on her nerves so that she'd look forward to going back to school. However, that never happened. We had such a nice 7+ weeks together.
Today was the day she had to go back to college. We were both sort of sad but really didn't say too much about it. We didn't want to get all emotional...
So I took pictures!

With Ruby
With Freckles
But none with me or with her brother - her brother was too ill to get out of bed. None with me because I am always the camera operator.
So, she did not fail biology last semester, it was just one of those tough classes that made her first semester in college not the best experience.
I failed at making her wish she was back at school. But, I guess that isn't such as bad "failure" after all.
