Parents Weekend

This weekend is Parent's Weekend and Homecoming Weekend. Exciting, right? Definitely. This whole week has been filled with activities day and night. One night we had a movie out on the quad. Another day there was a race and powderpuff game. Tonight there was a concert on the quad. The band was pretty famous and I wasn't really acquainted with their music, but I went to check it out anyway and it was super good (not so much the opener, but still). Definitely on the download list. Tomorrow there's the pep rally then on Saturday is the game. BUT the catch is, I'm going home this weekend. Most people's parents are coming to visit this weekend, but I'm heading back to the old abode. Why would I leave when I'm supposed to stay and show the 'rents around the place? Well sometimes logistically things just work out differently than planned.

Next week we have a break AND it's my birthday so I wanted to stay on campus and hang out with my new friends to celebrate midterms being over and me being a whole year older (yay?). Of course the fam is dying to see me, so somewhere in there I had to work in a trip home, and it just happened to fall this weekend. I'm interested to see how this weekend plays out. I've got school work to do and I haven't seen any of my family or friends since August; I hope they don't all flock to the house hoping to see me. Frankly I just want to chill with my parents and sister and (honestly) just go to sleep at decent hours for once in a while. We'll see.

Monday I'll let you know how the first weekend home went...hopefully it goes off without a hitch.

We just got back from Parent's weekend at my daughter's college. She is a freshman and this is our first experience with a child at college. It has been quite a change in our lives but we have gotten over it. Good luck in your college experience.

Best,
Bob
