Off to College
« on: August 23, 2011, 03:50:04 pm »
My son started college yesterday! Not the grand departure we had hoped as it is the local community college, Ten minutes away. But college non the less. I told him at dinner last night that from this point on, he is doing something I did not do, so make the best of it. Here's hoping he does!

I sure hope he is studying something useful in real life. So much of what's available isn't.
Wish him God Speed from the old gabber.

DG congrats to your son.. I had the same feeling when my oldest and youngest went to college.. Give him loads of support and pray each day he doesn't get side tracked.. A big way to go to you and your son... Sheila

As a former Californian, community college = affordable!!! no problem there...he's on the right track to become an economist/accountant ;D ;D my wife started at Cabrillo, then went to Chico ;)   Pete

I understand, Dan!  My daughter starts tomorrow!  Same situation although not a Community College, still a local one though.  Not sure where the time has gone.  Seems like just last year she was sitting in my lap while we watched Barney together!  SOMEBODY, SLOW THIS TRAIN DOWN!!!!  Jeez!

Congrats! ;)
