School preparations
Aug. 30th, 2011 10:49 amFiona's been busy with her part time job, and between the distraction with the boyfriend and seeing her friends, camp, Washington Island, and so on we've been a bit behind the curve in finalizing preparations for her to move into the dorm at Augsburg this coming Saturday. Yeesh. Yesterday we ran around like crazy, taking her to Augsburg to talk to the financial aid people, changing her bank accounts, going to Microcenter to get her software, laptop case, new mouse, getting her set up on mint.com, and so on. Still a lot more to do.
I'm already missing her terribly. Lordy, this is going to be hard.
Delia's starting a new school next week, a charter in St. Paul. We have to figure out transit. The school will cover the cost at least, but we'll have to use public transportation. It's going to be a bitch, because to take the bus from our house would take her over an hour, which would just not work for her--she'd goes stir crazy if she had to sit on the bus that long. I'm trying to figure out how I can combine dropping her off somewhere closer where she can take the bus with my morning commute. We also hope we might find another family with whom she could car pool. She has new student orientation today, the school picnic is tonight, and we have a meeting with her school advisor tomorrow to plan the new school year. She is both thrilled and apprehensive about this new start. It's very hard on her that she's finished her job but hasn't yet started school, especially since all of her friends in the Minneapolis school district went back this week.
Edited to add: We were also amused by the robocall we got from the attendance office at Delia's old school informing us that Delia was not in school yesterday. Yeah, that's right. Wonder why that is?
