How many people does it take these days to write a college application?

You haven't lived until you have spent two solid days helping your dd brainstorm all the extra curricular activities she was involved in during the past four years!  Gathering up records from all over the house and trying to condense them down to a page or two!  Getting into college these days is very competitive. Did I spell the name of that book I used for her history back in 9th grade correctly?  How do we describe a unit study that satisfied history, literature and fine arts to a USC admissions officer?  After two solid days of brainstorming and bullet pointing, Kelsey wrote up her essays and packaged up the USC college application.  Right after using USPS Online to send out a customer order, their website went down!  It wasn't like I knew it went down...oh NO!  I typed in all the information and couldn't fingure out why it wouldn't work.  I spent about a half hour of frustration until we had to leave for Karate.  We gathered everything up and off we went to the Post Office on the way.  WELL...  It's CHRISTmas time and this ding dong didn't realize that!  The line at the post office was almost out the door!  She was late for work by about 5 minutes but the USC College Application is winging it's way to the Office of Admissions as we speak.  Whew......
