When my oldest started college in 2003, we quickly learned that it was pretty useless to try to start back with homeschool until the college kids had gone back to school. Amanda and Jason share the same friend group from working at camp, so this week has been full of beach days, lunches with friends, watching the meteor shower, bonfires, packing and goodbyes.
Next week will be our first week of eeaaaaaasing back into homeschool. Instead of having a "first day/week of school" that includes EVERYTHING and stresses everyone, we ease in with a few subjects each week. We'll start with History, Guitar, and setting up his science notebook. Week 2 will add Anatomy, Algebra Review and Spanish. Week 3 will add English, Worldview, and Civics, Then Personal Finance and Geography.
Today my baby girl heads back to college for the last time! She is a senior, with just one semester of classes to go, and then a semester-long internship and then... Graduation! Holy Moly I am feeling old. She will be our 4th college graduate! One more to go.
In addition, this is the FIRST TIME I am not driving the loaded car to move my college student in. Amanda got a car this summer, the 1st time any of my kids have bought a car before college graduation. Not only is she living off campus, bunking in with her sister at her apartment for the semester, she also needs to travel to various schools in the area for practicums and observation for her child-development classes. So she loaded up her Honda and is driving herself!
And I am feeling very emotional about the whole thing!

I also have 2 college students heading back. They are at a local college and lived near campus last year. This year they moved home to save money as they both want to have a gap year in Hawaii before either going back for their Master's or starting a job in their fields. I'm visiting from Weekly Wrap Up :-D
