Since I know you are all very interested in my third son's college application process, he has been accepted to both the University of Vermont and the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. That's 2 down and 9 more yet to go. UMass wins that head to head battle, btw.
Thank you.
There are schools he hasn't heard from yet that would definitely beat UMass in head to head competition, but if it's only UMass and UVM he has to choose from, it's UMass. UMass has courses in Sanskrit and Old English, Vermont doesn't. But we'll probably drive up to Burlington on accepted students day anyway. I hear it's beautiful and I'd like to see it.
Dealing with Buncombe County's finest this morning. Not enough caffeine...
Congrats to son of BosDev! No matter what comes now, BosDev can look forward to huge mountains of toxic, son-produced laundry at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My eyes water at the thought. Literally, water.
I feel better today. The precious thought of holelian nation crying their huge heads to sleep on their tiny pillows has soothed my fevered brow.
In true sincerity, and with most malevolent intent, I sentence them to the ninth and darkest pit of hell, those cheating, lying holes.
I had a roommate at Duke who considered minoring in Olde English - we had shelves full of his empty 40 bottles...
Congratulations! Both are excellent schools. We have a friend who teaches at Vermont and loves it there. And I have heard great things about UMass.
Unless he gets into Duke. Mother of BostonDevil did her grandson's laundry every week for 4 years. The price? He had to go eat lunch with his grandparents after church on Sundays - or sometimes dinner on Saturday night. They paid. He didn't mind. Then they gave him a car for graduation for being such an attentive grandson. (Nice work if you can get it.)
Major congratulations jk! Isn't it one of the most wonderful moments in a child's life?!! You deserve to be very proud.
DaughterPK on cusp of a college decision, too. Exciting times. Currently looking like a lean towards Roll Tide.
