| Creative Writing Summer Program (North America) For those with kids who are about to enter 11th Grade, 12th Grade, or college that have an interest in Creative Writing then I thought I'd suggest this - a Creative Writing Summer Program, spanning the month of July 2006, in St. Andrews, Scotland. It's the sort of thing I wish I'd had when I was that age, in another country, of course, since St. Andrews is only a couple of hours' drive from me. It gives the kids the opportunity, I suppose, to learn more about the art of creative writing in addition to a number of excursions that prove a nice blend of Scottish culture, haunted castles, historic battlegrounds, Loch Ness monster hunting, and traditional dancing. The cost, at least to my eyes, is incredibly cheap at £2,600 ($4,641.69) although, of course, currency fluctuations could increase or decrease the number of dollars.  |

| If I act immature can I do this too???  What a cool opportunity! My doctor's son is spending a semester studying at a college in Ireland. While I'm very happy for him, I'm extremely jealous too. I have a friend in Largs it would be great to see again..
