@Rivet2000: About the date: my daughter has driven home that she has been officialy told ‘sometime in August,’ so I should avoid walking around as though she has had to permanently forgo a graduation ceremony. She hasn’t said more than that.
I really hope she was not simply trying to speak a thing into existence, because I will not be able to live with her if it doesn’t take place.
I just asked about graduate housing last night. Glad to know the grad students will not be forced into the surrounding area in search of rentals.
Congrats to your son.
