Two Kids in College
The Girl had her last club soccer game this weekend. She won’t “officially” be an adult for another month or so; but I feel a lot older than I did last week. In just a few days, she’s graduated high school, got her college identification card, registered for classes this coming fall and found someone to room with. She went from being in the midst of high school to being well along on her preparations for college. California Girl and I have already started looking for a dorm-size TV (Her roommate is getting the refrigerator.) It’s good that she got everything taken care of so early; but it really brings home a reality that I wasn’t planning on facing until the fall.
Despite facing prematurely before fall, you must have a bit of relief from the Girl getting organized and prepared early?
Viemoira: We think that it’s outstanding that so much is settled this early. Our son didn’t enjoy the summer before he left for college as much as he might have because he was so busy with planning, etc. Now California Girl and I have plenty of time to do what we need and still enjoy the summer ourselves.
