Alas, she didn't win

Lindsey didn't win anything with her video for Dayton.  To be totally honest, if she had asked for input, I would have told her that her video didn't "do" what they were asking.  The question was to identify a problem facing the world and coming up with a solution to it.  Her presentation was great but frankly didn't answer the question.  Alas. 

She is down to 124 days until she leaves for Dayton.  Between now and then, she has Easter break, with a senior camp in next week, AP tests (the week after Spring break), the National engineering competion (the following week), prom (the week after that), Andrew's prom (the week after that -- which, if you are trying to keep track is Memorial Day weekend), graduation is June 9, graduation party is June 11, vacation for two weeks (June 20 to July 5).  I don't know what she is planning for the rest of the summer, but I am exhausted just thinking about it. 

She has also decided to make her prom dress.



This dress in fact, which costs about $400 with taxes, etc.

This is the fabric that we bought


and this is the pattern:
The advantage is that she will be wearing this dress to Andrew's Prom.  Wish her luck!

I am so sorry to hear that she did not win. That is a hard lesson to learn - that you really need to give people what they specify in a contest. Sounds like she - and you! - will be keeping busy in the next few months tho! Cant wait to see the finished dress...

Too bad about the video. I find teenagers' schedules totally exhausting and wonder how did I ever survive it?
