I hope you had a fantastic vacation in Scotland. The challenge is designed to be difficult. If it was easy everyone would do it. I tried to do a little bit every day.

I’m so glad you got to experience a “typical” school experience by getting ready with your friends. How fun! The pictures I saw were amazing. Maybe I can attend the banquet next year! Great job on making it a success!
