Saturday the 17th of August, 2013 was the day that we dropped our boy at college. I am officially the parent of a college student. How did THAT happen!?!? I was actually fine with it. I think it was because it wasn't the first time he'd been away from home. He's been gone 5-6 weeks every summer for the past three years. So I wasn't worried about him being away. He's very social and will talk to anyone, so I wasn't worried about that either.
We got him moved in, got the parking pass, paid the tuition, got the mailbox, went to the welcome meeting, went to the welcome BBQ and left him there confidently. His roommate hadn't shown up by the time we left, so we figured he must not be a freshman, since that's all that came on that day. Next day....still no roommate. This bothered me a little because I felt like he was lonely. Next day was long for him and he ate meals alone. Okay now I'm REALLY bothered. My poor social boy was lonely and I hated it!!! I think yesterday was somewhat better because he started classes, but he still doesn't have a roommate. I sort of think it could be a good thing (no roommate problems if you don't have one!), but also....he isn't getting the interaction. Soooo....this momma is a lil worried. Feeling sorry for my boy. :(
He started his classes yesterday and he texted after the first class which was English (and not his favorite subject). He said it was 95% athletes, so he thinks it may not be a hard class! LOL Okay in all of them, but is a little concerned with Biology. I can't wait for him to come home on Friday! He wouldn't be coming home so soon, but a friend is having his Eagle Scout Ceremony Friday night and he wants to be here for that. I'm glad.
Now....what kind of treat can I make him to cheer him up??? :)
