The last few weeks have been a lesson in grace, patience, and biting my tongue. As many of you know we found out the end of July that my oldest was accepted to a new college in our town called Early College. She will earn her High School Diploma at the same time as she earns her Associates Degree in Zoology. But because she tested out of high school, she will be attending college at the local Community College for some of her classes and others the adjunct professors come to her campus. This semester most of it will all take place at one campus, next semester we will be looking at getting her at least two maybe three different campuses. I am so thankful she passed her drivers test in July also.

So the last few weeks we have been dealing with schedules, testing, admittance meetings, bus schedules, meet the Professors, and a myriad of other meetings! Some we were told we need to be at and didn’t need to be at, others we were not told about until it was almost too late… But with working with a totally new program with a brand new school, some of this is to be expected.

I surely don’t remember going through this when I was getting ready for college, but when I was talking to my dad the other night he reminded me of a few of the same trials.

I am thankful to say that she now has a schedule that is correct and set to get on the bus on the 20^th for her first day of college!! Something I still find hard to believe I have a college student and not a junior in High School!

So when our school starts at home in a few weeks I will be teaching only one small 3^rd grader… what am I going to do with all that free time???
