nobody ever told me sending a kid to college was this stressful. perhaps i didn't listen. or perhaps parents are so shell-shocked they just want to get on with life after that.
that being that monumentally difficult weekend during which you attempt to prophecy what the dorm requires and prepare as accordingly as possible and find out eventually that you fall short anyway, for which you make your child pack with as close an eye to economy as possible and still find the sum total far exceeding your financial and volumetric quotas, during which you arrive cross-border to find yourself obliged to impersonate a headless chicken trying to set up bank account cellphone account pay school fees and run up smack against. the. weekend. and, naturally, doing all of this and trying to impart your years of accumulated wisdom and finding your advice competing at a disadvantage against the pull of frosh activities and other more attractive offerings. tempers, not entirely unexpectedly, get awfully frayed.
HOM and i totally need a vacation after this.
