Focusing In
UofSC has beaten out PennState. Now Zoë has to decide if she wants to accept her Capstone invitation. She was dead set on not doing any honors programs in college, but UofSC's Capstone actually looks more social/less academic, and it has some opportunities I think she'd really enjoy (specifically travel). I'm working really hard at keeping my preferences out of this though, which is harder than it should be. I already got to pick my college experience(s), it's her turn.
She'll be going down to visit UofSC over spring break. I suppose things might change at that point. And she still has an open playing field of offers, she's only declining the ones that she knows she doesn't want (e.g. she prefers UofSC to NCSU, so she declined NCSU). It's nice to be at the stage of making final decisions. Although she had a dentist appointment last week that made me realize everything's still up in the air, because I had no idea when to schedule her 6 mos cleaning! Once she's got a schedule I'll need to get everything shifted around. And probably need to keep shifting, because who knows when she'll be coming home, or visiting friend, or traveling, or anything.
I've bought a pair of theoretically waterproof shoes, since when I was going for walks in the rain my feet were getting soaked. And of course since I bought them, it hasn't rained. They feel pretty well broken in, now I just need to hope for rain to confirm the shoes actually keep my feet dry. Mail order shoes are incredibly stressful.
