Three things for Monday

1. Linnea wants to drop out of rowing and school. Sigh. It's SO hard for her, and here is not a lot of support from the school/disability services. The hardest thing is that so many things depend on the teacher: she'd been counting on being allowed a 3x5 card for math exams, but the teacher decided at the last minute that no, she couldn't have it. It's so hard for her to memorize things, she's being penalized for not being able to remember formulas, when she knows what to do with them. Geology is similarly proving to be difficult because of all the details she needs to memorize. I'm currently trying to talk her down from he ledge.

2. Perry is a basket case. Too much stuff to go into, but he's having panic attacks, in part because of the stress from knowing his brain is going to go to mush during mid-terms. I am so fucking angry at the DEA for creating this shortage. It would help if he at least had a sense of how long it would be. UGH.

3. I made a dump cake yesterday. Everyone on a thread on twitter had been talking about them and how wonderful they were and... yeah, nope, nsm for me. Too sweet and not at all interesting.
