That's right!

OOOOO!!!!!
That sounds interesting. Too bad I don't talk to many high school
kids. I'd suggest it myself.
I have a nephew and some nieces in high school, and don't even really
know what they are taking. Well, except that the one niece is being
run ragged by band, color guard, and extra credit projects. I don't
know to be proud or worried.
