Changes and a flat tire

Son just cut off about 10 years of hair growth (10-20 inches).  No more long carefree braids.  He has a professional looking haircut now.

After the haircut we spent the day driving to a state college to check out the campus.  It was pretty close to the school my daughter is going to, so we then drove a couple of routes to see how long and what was the best way to get from one school to another.  Chances are (though not definite) that my son will transfer colleges for fall.  Filling out application now.

The transfer will be even cheaper then where he is, even with scholarships.  The only reason the school was not considered before is that the program had been a 2 year program for a AA in New Media, now it is 4 years, with a BA in New Media.

The school is so inexpensive in fact, that we may be able to swing a car that they can share if he actually changes colleges.

I hate that he is transferring so soon, but he was just tolerating his current school, and didn't feel like graphic design was the right fit, it was a close, but not exactly right for what he foresaw himself doing.  Plus the campus is beautiful and modern, which is more of his aesthetic.

On the way home, after stopping for food, we  realized we had a flat tire.  The guys changed the tire to a donut-spare, and we had to drive 100 miles at 50mph.

Oh I hate the spare! Those things are scary, and driving 50 miles means I don't envy you at all.

I'm glad your son is figuring it all out now rather than when he is 24 and the money on education has been spent...

Will they both be living at home? They sound like they'd actually be pleasant company and it would work out well if the schools are closeby.

Hi Happy, both schools are 100 miles away, and 4 miles apart from each other. They are wonderful company for me, but drive each other crazy. I couldn't imagine them living together for the next 3-4 years!

Thank you for making that point! I'd rather spend the $$ more wisely, than try to come up with more when he decides to change gears. Very encouraging.

The even better news is that the new college is so inexpensive! ... trying not to get excited... he has to apply first.
