| I have enjoyed a little mental game I play which is called "16 Semesters of Pain".
I have 2 in private college, back to back. The 16 semesters is the total number of semesters we have to pay for. Right now, with D graduating and S a senior this fall, we only have TWO MORE LEFT.
One of my favorite moments in the game was when we realized we were more than 50% there--having climibed to the top and now in descent down the other side of the mountain. The climb's been arduous, but we're in the flatlands now and can see the cabin-on-the-lake (our retirement home?) from here..... |
