January 2011

Winter break went by way too fast. Photodaughter has shown an interest in teaching English as a second language, in France. She has sent in her applications to various places along with Teach for America. Sounds like a plan. Take a year off before applying to graduate school.

• A piece of advice to new comers, invest in plastic Tupperware type containers. So many of these go back to college with food, cookies soup etc. and I never see them again.
• Secondly, save boxes. All sizes. Whenever Photodaughter is home visiting she always forgets something and (we are searching for a box) to mail the item back to her at college.

You can tell when you college student is growing up, they are busy over home breaks. Winter break was all about seeing friends, travelling etc. Yes, we did famliy time things but she is grown up 21 1/2 years old. Lastly, this is the "last ditch" before the real world of working for a living.

I think, if she could, she would be a "lifetime" college student.

Fianlly, Iwouldn't trade this for anything
