I have managed to pull some information out of our son. I hear little tidbits here and there. I think part of the issue is that he is still adjusting to the intense work load. He has always been a hard worker but this experience is a “whole 'nother level” to quote a skit from SNL. I did ask the hypothetical question “If someone from the current eight grade class (at his former school) was interested, qualified and gained acceptance to his BS, Would he tell him to go? His answer- absolutely, there is no where at home where he can get this kind of education.” So that is the extent of my validation that he is happy with his decision even though he isn’t bubbling over with joy. The best part of this break is the fact that he will be returning to a fresh start of the second trimester. In the past they returned after Thanksgiving with finals exams to look forward to.
