Last night at 11:20, between packing for her trip and reading all your sage advice, DD signed the enrollmemt form for Chapel Hill. I need to write her counselor a thank you note. She helped DD think about what she really wanted and encouraged her to play the "pretend you're going to school X -- now pretend you're going to school Y" game. She said some of the same things I had said, but advice sounds different coming from a non-parent. I want to thank all of you for taking the time to give DD the benefit of your wisdom and experience. I think we both felt a twinge at giving up Elon's beautiful campus and cushy Honors program, but in the end she couldn't turn down her own personal golden ticket to the Southern Part of Heaven. Some body cue the the choir......"Hark the sound of Tarheel voices, ringing clear and true....."
