Crash Course

While I'm prepping for scrap camp next month, I'm going through pictures for my 2015 album. This is definitely a flashback photo!

Here Mr. College was just visiting campus after begin accepted at UW-Platteville. "Every day is a great day to be a Pioneer!" says Pioneer Pete.

When Mr. C called me tonight, I think he was paraphrasing a bit. Like every day after finals are done is a great day! He had a "winterim" accounting course that was basically a three-week crash course. Meet for 3 or so hours daily and squeeze in a semester's worth in 21 days.

Wouldn't recommend it. It's nice to get a class out of the way, but brains – even young ones with lots of room to store new stuff – can get overloaded. Carter had his final and is done until the "real" spring semester starts next week already. Not much of a break.

He did have some exciting news recently. He'll be doing an internship in the foreign studies office right on campus for the spring semester. That is so awesome and right up his alley. He's pretty excited and thrilled to check that "must do internship" box off his list before graduation in December.

OK. He looks so young and cute up there with Pioneer Pete. There's not way I'm introducing that grownup graduation talk into this conversation. One day or course or semester at a time!

It's a great day to have a kid who's a Pioneer!
