<p>Groovy: I can’t resist asking, are the tear jerker sessions the ones about how to pay for college? 
God help us if we haven’t figured that out before orientation rolls around. </p>
<p>It’s weird how this feels so much more significant when it’s your kid registering for classes than when you did it yourself. It is hard not to be involved, but still… am I alone in remembering that registration was mainly just trying to physically deliver the little hole-punched computer cards for each course to the right station in the gym, while hoping the end result is a schedule that allows you to sleep until at least 9 a.m.? I think our smart kids will do fine; they’re far more sophisticated than I was at their age! After all, I went on to become a successful professional even though my transcript included classes such as badminton and camp leadership…</p>
