Well, no car and no on campus housing. What’s a mother to do? I think I may have finally found the solution to Andy’s lack of housing in his transfer from Alfred University to the University of Buffalo. I have been checking The Buffalo News on Mondays and looking at the various boards the university… Continue reading Campus Housing and the Transfer Student
I sit in budget hearings and board meetings and hear people say things to the affect that schools don’t need “that” – sports, clubs, music programs, theatre productions, academic competition teams. Schools just need to educate our children, need to teach them math, reading, writing. This is not the case anymore. Anyone who has had… Continue reading Do the People out there Understand?
Well, another milestone in Susan’s senior year. Her prom was on Friday. I am still recovering. The high school has a group of parents that form what is called the After Prom Party Committee. We put on an after prom party that is totally alcohol free and is a lot of work. My body is… Continue reading Another Susan Milestone
Well, I have always loved summer. It is easier to exercise as it is warmer out. Walking in the snow, while doable, is not as convenient. I like to eat less and exercise more. Having at least two of my kids wanting or having to work out this summer is going to be great. Elise… Continue reading Summer Approaches
The restaurant we ate at on competition night was wonderful. It was within walking distance of the hotel. It was full of all kinds of local people – prom attendees eating prior, retirees having dinner, families eating out. The Malibu Grill in Bloomington, Indiana was worth the few minutes it took the staff to set… Continue reading Competition Day (May 20/continued again)
So, as I said before, I put up a profile on cupid.com. I have had profiles on other internet dating sites before so this is not new. I found someone on there I know. I am not what he is looking for for a number of reason. I do, though, feel like I should respond… Continue reading That Whole ONLINE Dating/Meeting Thing
Once we got to campus, we unloaded the bus. We had breakfast foods, snacks, binders, all kinds of things that were necessary for the day. As the last two of us were walking up to the team room, one student came back. He was sure he had left his books on the bus for the… Continue reading Competition Day (May 20/continued)
Well, there would be lots of images taht could be in the photo spot today. The day began early. At about 11:30 pm Friday night I was at the front desk of the Hilton Gardens in Bloomington, Indiana. I wanted to be able to use the restaurant ice machine at 5 am rather than the… Continue reading Competition Day (May 20)
Typing while traveling was fun. The final straw has occurred. We have explored campus. It looked huge on the map but in reality is not bad. I think the 15 minutes between events is more than enough time, even for the slowest of the students. We found all the locations and, as the boys say,… Continue reading First Full Day in Bloomington
Yesterday it was movies. Today it is “Stadium Arcadium” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers – brand new album and atop the Billboard album chart. A good listen and dulls the boredom of the road. Yesterday it was NY, PA – a little as we went around Lake Erie, and the OH as we made… Continue reading More Indiana – SciOly (5/18)
