Let's see: Creation Museum in Northern KY Natural History Museum and Cincinnati History Museum at Union Terminal (The Cincinnati History Museum is my favorite. An old train station houses several museums and they have some great displays from the WWII era) There are also special exhibits going on all the time. IMAX Theater also at Union Terminal Freedom Center Taft Museum of Art Are you looking more for indoor/outdoor activities?

Some detailed rules are the result of specific things that have occurred at that institution. I attended the same school as Jan, but I graduated last year.The policies are much more relaxed, and I'm actually a bit concerned that they are too relaxed in some areas. However, there is still an absurd rule on the books about water fights. Seriously. Way back when, there was this huge water fight between dorms that resulted in significant property damage. It has nothing to do with anything other than addressing something specific. I know most of the "Christian Rules" have a different basis, but that could be part of the reason that some of the absurd rules are still around.

I think it could be helpful. I read it for birth control purposes and it would have been nice to practice charting, or at least know what was going on with my body, back in high school. That's another thought- read some things on various types of birth control and come to conclusions about which ones you are morally comfortable with...

I read Taking Charge of your Fertility after I got engaged, and I wish I had read it a lot earlier. It has a lot of useful information about how women's bodies work...

I used my minor to fill up credits. My history major had low credit hour requirements, but I still had to have 128 hours to graduate. A Bible Minor is built into the 128 hours, too. I got a minor in Editing & Publishing and could have easily gotten one in Poli Sci, but I chose to only take the Poli Sci classes I liked and avoided the other two that would have given me the minor.

This happened to me. My first advisor was really new and didn't know what she was doing. Thankfully, my mom and I realized it and kind of did our own thing. The advisor I had for three years was a wonderful person and I still talked to him about my courses, but I got all of my real advice from another professor who knew me much better and was able to steer me in more profitable directions.

Try to help her see the positives. I'm 5' 10" and I'm still the tallest/tied for the tallest woman in most of my circles. The hardest thing for me was finding clothes, as a teen and now. But I spent a long time complaining about it and I wish I had just learned to accept it earlier.

Are you referring to a freshman comp class? Mine was nothing like that. In fact, most grades were satisfactory or unsatisfactory and you had to rewrite it until you got a satisfactory. The big project received a low, middle, or high grade at the beginning of the semester, and then you final project, the culmination of everything you had done all semester, received a letter grade. I did have some professors use rubrics in other classes, but they were pretty general.

Apology by Socrates Funeral Oration by Pericles Among Us You Can Live No Longer by Cicero I taught Rhetoric this year :) I don't think I've personally read the Cicero speech, but the other two I studied either as a student or teacher. Shaunna Howat's Biblical Worldview Rhetoric is the text we used....

The Penguin Book of Historic Speeches has a lot of great ones. Stalin and Hitler are both fascinating to analyze with our 20/20 hindsight...

It hit me hard at 10 DPO. I thought i was just recovering from a long weekend when my husband was ordained, but it wasn't THAT tiring! I was sleeping in and taking two hour naps for several days before I finally tested at 15 DPO :)

I had these things happen a few times and it was highly frustrating! My bookstore had many used copies and it often came out even with half.com once I ended up paying lots of separate shipping charges.

It's quite a gem, for no particular reason at all. Everyone I've recommend it to has loved it as well. My aunt practically put her life on hold for a few days to finish it :-)

Mrs. Mike is a little known book, but it's my favorite. I've read it too many times to count...

Family Band is a fun one. A little corny, but we liked it because it was about a big family.

I think he's in Computer Services. He's the really tall blonde.

:-) He's working on campus four days a week this summer...

Has your DH or kids met my brother?? :-)

BA in History, minor in Editing & Publishing. I'm not very marketable in the traditional job market, but my degree has prepared me very well to do exactly what I want to do: teach homeschoolers on the side homeschool my own children. Also, on an almost daily basis I mentally reference many of the history/poli sci/ government classes I took.

I turned 18 about two weeks into my freshman year. The only issue I had was having to resign a bunch of paperwork that year, and getting sick the first week and having to ask my roommate to buy me some Sudafed :-) I do remember that on one of my study abroad trips we had a few students under 18 and the professor had to sign things for them and maybe check them into the hotels. It wasn't a big deal, but I do remember something about it. Another factor may be how old the student looks. In my case, it was kind of funny because people assumed I was a senior when I was a freshman, and a "young" freshman at that. But if you have an academically brilliant 16 year old but looks like she's 12, that could present some social problems worth considering. I tutored a student who was 15 and while she was certainly brilliant, she looked like a scared little kid and didn't last the year.

I was only marginally employed. The jobs I had were basically handed to me just because of connections I had at school and in the homeschool community back home. I wasn't in the traditional job market, so don't let that give you a false impression. My sister is having a hard time finding a job that relates at all to her nursing degree.

I just graduated last last year and I took summer classes every summer, either online, a 2-3 week travel study, or both. Two summers I taught student camps during the Practicums for Classical Conversations for several weeks. My last summer I did research for a professor, primarily from home. I had a good mixture of work and academics during the summer, though I did not like the online class experience. My brother just finished his freshman year and is working 40 hours per week on campus in an area semi-related to his field. He is commuting to campus for work, though he lives there during the school year. My sister has done a variety of things. She primarily uses her summers for her agricultural pursuits; last summer she butchered chickens, this summer she is raising bees and working part time.

Thanks for the tips, everyone! SIL just left. We had a pretty productive day, though, as I anticipated, we didn't finish everything in the time we thought we could. Her husband ended up having to drop off the kids in the afternoon, so we had a longer day, but we didn't get too much done after the boys got here :-) I have about 11 dinners, and many of them will last the two of us several meals. I'm also working on the French Toast that we didn't finish and that should last us for a while.

When I write the one I'm envisioning, I'll let you know ;) I primarily reviewed textbook based courses, and those are not my preference anyway. I'm approaching everything from a Christian perspective, so I would probably choose Notgrass with supplementation. Of the secular texts Magruder’s American Government, Pearson, was my favorite. It is a massive textbook and designed to cover a full year of study. It had far more critical thinking than other texts.
