A couple of weeks ago the monster tells me that he has a field trip permission slip he needs me to sign to go on a college trip. What he doesn't tell me is that he has been chosen to go. Only three kids in his school to attend. Now mind you its a small school with only two 5th grade classes so maybe 40 students but still I am proud.
His agenda for today is:
10:30-11--tour of campus
11-11:20--PE/GYM/Pool
11:30-11:50--chemistry class, he gets to sit in on an actual college class! :)
12-12:30--Lunch/bookstore
12:40-1:20--Campus Life student pannel.
I think this is a great experience for him and I so wish I was there to watch him. See if this sparks more interest in college in him, watch his expressions as he sees the GYM and gets to sit in on a class, and hear if he has any insights for the student pannel. I am also curious if there are going to be any skateboarders around and if so what his reaction to them will be as he's one as well. I have this notion of him like Rory Gilmore (of the show Gilmore Girls) visiting Harvard, sitting in on a class and debating with college students. I know this is unrealistic but that is my vision of him.
I am also a little sad that this is his first college visit and I am not there with him. I know its silly since its not a real campus visit but its still something I look forward to doing with him.
Now I promised not to post the picture on FB so instead I am posting it here. Its not a great picture, bad lightening and all but I still have one of him in his shirt.
