Semester One is in the Bag

Brett called several times yesterday to tell us 1) that he only got three hours of sleep the night before as he was writing a paper and 2) he was more than ready to come home.  His first two finals were challenging.  I don't remember ever walking out of a final and thinking that it was a breeze, so I think his assessment is probably correct.  He has two papers due Friday night at 9 p.m. that he can submit online.  He finished one at 4 a.m. yesterday morning.  That left him time to pack, study for his Thursday final and write one more paper, before Grandma and Grandpa picked him up this afternoon.

I am proud of how hard he has worked this semester and impressed with how well he has adjusted to being on his own.  This week he met several of his friends for dinner and survived selling back his books in the long lines of the IU bookstore.  All new adventures that he didn't ask advice on, just attempted himself.  I wasn't sure how it would be for him this year, but so far so good.  Can't wait to spend three weeks with him before he starts semester two.
