Looks good. Most 'green' projects succomb to the three S's: Lots of Spending (the only way of 'getting' so you can spend involves some form of consumption), Silicon (computer chip manufacturing - a very polluting process), and Solar (photovoltaics - which are staggeringly polluting to make and rarely produce more power in their functional life than it to took implement them). This project seems to skip all three!
I bet when your parents sent you to Vassar they never expected you to rise to such heights. I mean, I bet they never thought you'd be buying your very own gas station.
Now, I myself went to Sarah Lawrence, as you know.
Today, I took my daughter to SLC for a go-see. We thought it might make a good fall back school.
I mean, if Wolfen didn't get into NYU, how can anyone hope to get in to NYU?? So, we need a fall back school.
But... we were sadly disappointed.
In fact, we were both sort of.. horrified.
First of all, Sarah Lawrence costs more than Emerson, and more than NYU.
And as far as I can tell, what you do there is lie around on bean-bag chairs and socialize.
The college only allows you to take three courses per semester. You structure them yourself, with a little help from your don, who is "the advisor you work closely with", and, if memory serves, end up in bed with.
There are no grades, as that would stifle your creativity.
As one prospective parent put it, if you're not particularly good at structuring yourself as a student, everything is sort of " wahhhh!!"
Now let's see. "Wahhhh!!" is going to cost me $52,000 a year.
I bit my tounge about my family associations.
If I had to sum it up. I'd say:
"Sarah Lawrence allowed me to be myself. But I'm not sure that was a particularly good idea."
