A Nice Car on Main StreetIt's a lazy Sunday, sweater weather really. It is almost September, so I suppose it should be getting colder.
One of M's nephews has decided to take a semester off university to backpack through Europe with a friend. It was a surprise, but he assured us he'll be back to start his second year of university in January. I do know some other people whose son decided to take a whole year off with no definite plans after. Even grown adults have trouble 'finding themselves' and these kids are so young.

I don't know what kind of car that is but it looks VERY fun.

I was out this weekend raking the lawn!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the chance to backpack that would have been so much fun
I do think some kids just need some time to mature and sort things out. My son joined the Peace Corps after college and I think it really made him grow up. Now he's going back to college in a different field.
ReplyDeleteThat is a snazzy car!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about your nephew. I am sure he is a responsible fellow and will follow through with what he says. Travel can be a good education too, especially if he's funding it himself. :-)
Whenever my daughter started talking about taking time off from university I worried she would never finish. Thank goodness she never did go through with her plans and finished uni. She is also glad she did it this way too - its easy to get distracted I guess. Backpacking through Europe would be fun though and an education. And you are right they are so young.
