<< I keep telling her she will need a huge scholarship and she feels
that will not be a problem. Also, we live in Park City, Utah. Still a
small town as much as we try to be Aspen. She attends a very small
private school. She can't even read a bus schedule and she wants me to
put her on a plane to Boston?!? Get real here. Come on my little
teenage listers. Are you all like this?

I'm just a bit older than she is (I'll be eighteen in May) and any
wrecklessness of mine in regards to financing my education is not in
overconfidence in my ability to get a huge scholarship, but in an
overwillingness to resort to student loans and be in debt for the rest
of my natural life.
And the other bits you mentioned aren't so much a problem in my case as
I'm pretty used to reasonably big (or at least severely overpopulated)
cities, having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area all my life. I
negotiate the hills and curves (and traffic) of San Francisco in a
stick-shift with uncompromsing skill, never (see: seldom) getting lost
in the maze of weird angles and one-way streets forming the city built
in one of the worst geographic locations for a city known to man. I
slept on a sidewalk for five nights before seeing Star Wars and drove
five hundred miles to San Diego to see a museum exhibit. Reading bus
schedules isn't really an issue. ;)
So not all of the teenage listers are like *THAT* exactly, but we have
our quirks (as does, I'm sure, the elder listers).
