College: On A Scale of 1 to 10 - 2011


1 = :( ............... 10 = :)

and somewhere in between = :/

The Junior Year Drop-Off

Anxious to leave and get on the road by 5 PM, Friday.
Note: It's 10:30 AM, Saturday

Son ~ 5 :/ ............... Mom ~ 9 :)
Really, what's the hurry?

The first off-campus apartment ~

Quite a bit different from last year's resort.

"Hey, we've got a BBQ!"
Son ~ 8 :) ............... Mom ~ 1 =:0

Room Mates ~

Very nice boys who "study hard and go to the library."
I choose to believe.

Son ~ 10 :) ............... Mom ~ 10 :)

The Apartment
Location. Location. Location.

On the corner of two very busy streets.
Across the street from train tracks.
With a chirping cross walk.
With constant pedestrian traffic.
Constant. Pedestrian. Traffic.

Son ~ 10 :) ............... Mom ~ 2 :(

One reason for the traffic ~

I hear short-shorts are the unofficial school uniform for co-eds.
And if they're not, I've been told "they should be."

Parting Words ~

From Mom and Dad ~
"Plan ahead"
"Stay on top of things"
"Get enough sleep"
"Eat well"
"Take your vitamins"
"We love you"

From son ~
"Thank you for everything"

"Love you"
"Okay, okay, okay"
"Bye"


Have a wonderful junior year. See you for Thanksgiving! :)

So cute! I can look at your son and tell that is one good kid. This reminds me of a Mastercard commercial....was just waiting at the end,
"knowing he will be home for Thanksgiving"....priceless.
Loved this!

Love it....
You have a good boy and I think with all that apartment noise the library will be home away from home. Or he will be staring out the window at the co-eds...nay library!!!
Hope he has a wonderful junior year!

So funny, so true. Big moved into an off-campus this year with three roommates, at least two of whom are known to study! Honestly, tho, I have never seen so many beautiful girls walking around in shorts. I predict the boys' study habits will improve as the weather cools off!

Thanks for your comment. I'm doing much better. Lots of Anbesol and gargling.
