National Merit Doofus
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, but I'm officially a National Merit Finalist," Eli 17.6 said."Wait, what?" I asked.
"They e-mailed me two days ago," he said.
"That seems to merit a mention on the same day," I said.
"It's really not a big deal," he said. "You basically have to murder someone to not go from semi-finalist to finalist."
"Leave their shoddy investigative work out of it," I said.
This semester, he's taking the capstone class for Spanish majors at a local college. Pushing forward, as usual.
Ivy League acceptance/rejection day is March 28, as far as he knows. 31 days to go.
