In the Name of Progress

Pond Action (-:



K is officially registered at the local high school and starts September 8th. Today the plan is to self-tour a couple of universities within a couple of hours of Toronto. I've also booked another tour in October. Every year there is a large Ontario University fair downtown and this year it is being held on the weekend of September 25th, so the weekends are starting to get booked up, all in the name of progress!

Hi Christine,
catching up. I did the personality check and am pleased to report that I am living with the right partner.
What a good idea to tour the universities. Also I often wonder how young people settle back to studying after a gap year although it does seem to be the thing to do !
Hope K enjoys High School

I have to warn you that the first day of University or Collage is going to be as tough as the first day of JK for your first child! I cried like a baby sending my baby off to higher education. I have lots of Kleenex and I will be happy to send some your way :o)

Barbara, I found out that K and M have the same personality type, L has a different one and so do I. The thing is, they're all compatible with each other and not me! What can I say. I have the same concern about gap years. I know someone that took a year off to go canoeing and never went back to school after that.

SoccerMom, thanks for the warning and kleenex offer. I'm already a bit down. At least I can help her find a place where we think she'll be happy.

Sounds like you've got a busy time ahead of you all. It all sounds exciting though.

Love your video, Christine! This is really going to be a big year for your kids (and mom and dad). Is K looking forward to starting high school?
