Amazed

S was open to talking about college tonight. He has always been a computer kid. Always. Lives and breathes computers, has always talked about being a programmer or network engineer. Always. Tonight, I asked him if he had any thoughts about what he might want to study in college, fully expecting him to say, "Duh, Mom, computer science!"

But what he said instead was, "Computers or languages."

I did not see "languages" coming at all, and am amazed. Languages!

As we talked on, about this and that, he mentioned that he'd like a better Hungarian textbook; he has my old college text. I'm doubtful another exists, the market for such things being so small, but I'll look.

Languages. I would never have guessed!
