My 15 yr old is doing some CLEP and CC this year too. I'm making her take all online classes, as I have no desire to be her chauffeur. She has to take her PSAT this October, so we'll leave the CLEP stuff til after that's done. I'm hoping she'll score enough to be a NMS.

So Deb, have the entries starting whirring at night in your brain??? I'd imagine that with 52 page turner ideas you'd have many inspiring ideas for stuff of your own to write.
