I am slowly recovering from moving the college boy back to school!
He and I left on Wednesday afternoon so that we could be up at Clemson and ready for orientation bright and early Thursday morning. If you recall, he was in the Bridge to Clemson program last year; he lived with about 700 other Bridge kids and took classes at Tri County Technical School, had all the benefits of being a clemson student except he didn't take classes on their campus and couldn't join a fraternity. He earned the required 30 hours and had a 3.0 GPA so he became an automatic sophomore at Clemson this fall!
So, Thursday was orientation. He did his thing and I did the parent thing! He is all signed up for classes, which start this Wednesday.
About a week ago he informed husband and I that his computer didn't work. What he didn't tell me right away was that he had spilled something on it. Four months ago! So, we take off for college with NO computer! So, to just help him get by, we stopped at Staples after orientation and bought a cheapy computer, which was not really cheap, and he can use it until his computer is repaired. Well, in the meantime I got the call from the computer fixing place and it would be just a little more for us to buy a brand new computer! UGH! It's always something!
Husband had some big jobs going down at work, so it was just son and I doing all the moving in to the new apartment. My car was packed to the hilt with his stuff and we even had loads stored at our cabin that is about 23 miles away from Clemson. So we first made a trip to the apartment to unload my car. This was our first in person visit to said apartment. It is definitely interesting! Last year all the Bridge kids lived in a condo complex that wasn't very old, meaning it had granite counters, stainless steal appliances, tile floors, laundry room in each unit, etc. Let's just say this year's place doesn't. When we first walked in he said "it smells weird in here". I told him it was just old. I really wasn't sure what the smell was but I figured we could fix it with a few glade plugins! I wish I had taken pictures of the inside, but I was so focused on getting things unloaded that I only got one of him outside of the new place!
We've had a few bumps, like the internet is still not working and the key won't really open the front door... all that fun stuff that is so hard for me to take care of from down here.
Today was the first day of school for teen daughter!
How did she get to be a senior? I think this year was much harder for me than even last when she left for France for the year! Now I realize that our little family is really going to be changing by this time next year and I am starting to really freak out about that!
So how was your Monday?
