Baccalaureat


Today was Courtney's Baccalaureat. I am reminded of this story:

A brilliant young student leaves home for college and writes home for the first time--

Dear Dad, the Univer$ity i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying really hard. With all my $tuff, I $imply can't think of a thing that I need, $o if you like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.

The father wrote back:

Dear Courtney:

I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOough to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOough. Love, Dad.
