Comeback wkend @ The Asheville School was great for my D and I.

It was from 4PM Fri-1 PM Sat.

Some things the parent and kids did together somethings we did separate.
I got to speak to many parents from different states, some single, some married. Everyone there (I believe 64 families were thrilled about Asheville.

I was sold on it the 1st time I physically went there. (my D’s interview)
Very warm genuinely personable to me away. Nice campus very organized, great academics, great academic support, nice kids.

My D seemed more comfortable there then most any other place.
And After being there 3wks last summer for a summer program and I asked my D what she thought about going to BS.
Her eyes lite up and she said she wanted to go to Asheville.

The kids slept in the dorms the parents @ hotels.
They gave us tickets to the Biltmore Estates…
At dinner My D’s tour guide/dormmate for the night said she felt kinda bad cause my D already seemed to know so many people she(the guide) couldn’t really introduce my D to many students or faculty.

My D was so elited and happy @ come back wkend. She is counting down the days to 8/24.

One of the teachers was @ the Airport when we flew into Asheville to pick up another family.

My D knew him from summer camp.

We had a couple of hours until registration time @ the Asheville school the teacher helped me get to where I was to pick up my car rental we all went to lunch then he showed me where my hotel was. Now w/ about 1:45 min to check in @ Asheville school the teacher, the other family, and my daughter went to campus. I went later.

When I got to registation and asked if they knew where my D was they said oh they had put her to work since she and the other girl had arrived early.
My D loved that.
I just have to keep reminding her that w/ reality it will not all be peaches /cream during the school yr.

She’s pretty rounded… I guess she’ll be ok.

I should just let her have her glory now.
