How I Spent My Weekend

Parent Cafe

<p>Sitting at the dining room table while my son filled out college application paperwork. There’s nothing quite like a perfectionist procrastinator trying to craft answers to questions like “why do you want to be a Naval Officer” and “what does it mean to be an entrepeneur.” He fills out forms, writes essays, and addresses envelopes while I do CC, complete crosswords, and do Google research (application deadlines, required forms, etc.) for him. </p>

<p>I didn’t spend this much time when I applied to college for myself.</p>

<p>make cookies - warm cookies and milk are great moral and energy booster</p>

<p>Same here, but I made pumpkin bread for encouragement. My son got his first app out today (yeah!), but mid-way through filling out the common app form our internet connection was lost (as was a non-saved page). Ah well, at least there’s been SOME progress!</p>
