I have a child in college

[tejas]

Wow. That feels so weird to say. Though, she doesn't check into the dorm for another couple of hours yet. Still, she left for school yesterday at too-damn-early o'clock (with a big ass suitcase that weighed 49.5 pounds LOL). Her other bags were lighter. LOL

Hi! It's nice to see you around!

Most of my friends have been shipping kids off to various colleges the last few years, and it's such an amazing thing to see the kids setting off into their lives this way - they've become these beautiful confident adults, somehow.... So congratulations on getting your daughter settled into her dorm and on her way and all the rest of it!

Thank you! She just sent me a picture of her ID. LOL Yes, I teared up. LOL But just a little. :-)

College?!?! *eek* We're getting to that point with Eldest, she's just entered her junior year.

[tejas]

It goes by SO DAMNED FAST! It's not nearly too early to be searching out scholarship opportunities.

[donutsweeper]

oh yeah, definitely. I mean, we've been saving since she was born (almost literally, every $$ present we got for her was immediately put in her college fund) but still WOW it's expensive. School just started for them Monday, but she's already under orders that before Oct she has to have gone to the college resource center and started looking.

[tejas]

Yeah, my kid's freshman year included a major series of projects that were pretty much teaching them how to college hunt.

Of course you've sent her a care package. You're a mom! :-)

Hi!

[tejas]

LOL yeah, yeah. LOL

And HI!!!

[tejas]

Oh, yes. She'll be home for about 6 weeks between semesters. LOL

Boy, you're old. ;P

Seriously, kid's gonna have a BLAST! And hey, now you have the perfect excuse to visit NY! \o/

[tejas]

LOL! Older than you realize, kiddo! LOL I didn't have her until my 30s. LOL

And yes! NYC, HERE I COME! Okay, not any time soon, but one of these years. LOL
