Daughter's Daunting Adventures
I mentioned earlier this week that my daughter, Carolyn, had been accepted at Sonoma State University. She got word it was a go on Wednesday and had to be there by Friday. We managed to have a good-bye Thursday dinner after she had spent the day pack and repacking her car with her belongings, at least whatever she could fit in.
I talked to her Friday afternoon just to make sure she'd arrived. She had, had a room, and was off to register. I talked to her again tonight, Sunday. There were ups and downs to her weekend. She'd had trouble registering on Friday, but by Saturday she'd had help to get all of her classes. Her car wouldn't start Sunday afternoon, but by the evening she was going out to dinner with her new roommate and her friends.
She's going to be fine. It's not too far away, but just far enough to be out of reach. That probably pretty good for the first time away from home. It does make it a bit harder when they're not just down the hall or in the next town over. It's really amazing, but they do grow up.
