It hardly seems real that in a little over four months, DS2 will be gone too. I find myself overwhelmed with memories lately and the mourning of missed moments.
But push forward we must, because there are so many things to do and they almost all come with deadlines.
DS decided to go a tech college. Right now his plan is to take an Environmental Law 2 year program. I honestly don't think that is where he is going to want to end up, but for now, it is the only path he sees. Most of the courses lend itself to other programs and he can also take this 2 year program and jump into University for 2 more years to get his four year degree, if he chooses.
Registration for his course was $75. Sending off his current transcripts was another $25. He had to get a criminal record check done, so that was another $25. $100 invested thus far.
He will live 2 hours from home, so we will have to figure out where he is going to live and start looking for base furnishings for it.
It's also scholarship time. Many of the more important ones had to be sent off before Christmas. Most of those were tied to going to a University, not a college so they were not a factor. We have his reference letters done. We have our list of ones he is applying for and we have to write the essays that go with them. We never did this with DS1 so the process is new for me. DS2's marks are high, so he may end up winning some from his school. May. I never count on anything anymore. Every little bit won helps though.

Jolie, I didn't realize that your boys were so close in age... You'll be an empty nester soon... What will you do? It sounds like DS2 has it all under control.
It'll be nice that DS2 will only be 2 hours away. When I was in university I lived approximately that far away from home and was able to swing by every few weeks to visit home.
Good luck to DS2! I hope the scholarships come through. :)
You sound so organized!! I'll bet he gets some scholarship money - even if it's just for his first year. It's nice that he won't be too far away.
Ah, Jolie, I'm there with you! We just went to visit the college where my son wants to attend...3 hours away, but he will live on campus. He's our last child to leave home. It will definitely be lonely...
