I couldn't even get through Black Swan. That coaster looks like it was fun for sure. Our son did community college for two years. Did all the required classes with credits to both types of schools. Then he graduated with honors at UC Santa Cruz. I think it is an awesome plan. I wish him all the best.

DD went away to college ... only to realize about 2 days before classes started that it wasn't right for her. I didn't argue with her but went up and got her ... and in hindsight, that was one of the best decisions I made as a parent (even though it took awhile for the dust to settle and for me to see that it all worked out best).

Birdie (DD3) started her college career at community college. It lasted one year and then she was ready. It was a great experience for her. AND, I got to keep her home an extra year. We redecorated her room since she wasn't going away to college that first year and did all we could to make it feel real. It was GREAT!Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-56314850099590637572013-07-24T11:01:32.291-04:002013-07-24T11:01:32.291-04:00I haven't seen Black Swan & always wanted ...I haven't seen Black Swan & always wanted too... darn!<br /><br />I need to check out your cleaning goodies.

It's great he came to this conclusion before beginning classes there. He'll figure it out, and I think more and more kids opt for a year of community college before investing in something more costly. <br /><br />Your answer to #3 is what I was trying to say : )<br /><br />Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727615822243830106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-89828684852177894122013-07-24T10:31:43.669-04:002013-07-24T10:31:43.669-04:00You know, I am really hoping that they don't g...You know, I am really hoping that they don't get a nanny.
