S24 starts classes in 2 weeks, but I just got back from helping him move into his apartment next year and it was wonderful to see him and his roommate working together to get set up and their excitement about their new space! Sure is a lot nicer than any apartment I ever had as a student, but I am really happy for them. It’s funny to listing to the boys talk about their plans for what they intend to cook. My son has some very ambitious ideas about gourmet meals he wants to try making (he has NEVER made much more than scrambled eggs, hamburgers, or a grilled steak at home). The roommate, on the other hand, thinks the best idea is to make a big batch of burritos on Sunday and then eat burritos all week, every week. It was also funny working with roommate’s mom to get them set up and stock the pantry. We agreed on a lot of basics, but roommate’s mom wanted to buy all kinds of fresh vegetables and things for them to make salads every night. I WISH they would eat salads every day, but I do think it is rather unlikely. Whatever. They will figure it out 
D24 has her last week of her DC internship this week and she is very excited that she has been asked to stay on staff part time and to contribute 2 articles per month! I’m excited that she received this positive feedback about her work. I’m also excited for her to come home this weekend and be with us for two weeks before she heads back to school.
