Off To University


Pierce left early yesterday morning for University.  He has been looking forward to it for weeks.  I have not.  Don't get me wrong - I realize that he needs to spread his wings and fly.  But my house is so quiet!

There was a mix-up with the housing and we were informed 2 weeks ago that the school had not reserved a room for him.  We were told that he, along with 5 other boys, would be sleeping in the lounge area until suitable housing could be located.  Momma was not pleased with this development at all.  Several phone calls later, my boy had a room.  But no roommate. 

So Pierce decided to not take much with him.  No refrigerator, no printer, no TV or microwave.  He said there was no reason to take anything until he and his roommate could discuss the situation.  His roommate arrived (from Korea!) bearing only his clothing and a coffeepot!

Thankfully, Pierce is only 3 hours away.  He is planning to come this weekend to get the necessities.  And he is bringing 3 new friends with him. A trip to the grocery store is in order.  I wonder how much food four 20 year olds can eat?
