Last weekend, we went to our last Conn College parents’ weekend. It was great seeing Cheshire, who is working very hard and feeling stressed.We went to the CISLA (the program that allowed her to do her Bolivia research) senior banquet during which Cheshire and four other CISLA students did a take on Real World to present their projects. It was entertaining, the most fun presentation of the banquet, although they had received some flack from their faculty advisor about making their skit humorous. Most of the others were pretty straight forward and after 20 or so, a little fun was in order. These are great young adults -- every one of the projects was interesting and thought provoking -- okay, there was one dealing with math that I didn't understand. It would have been thrilling to be hearing about or doing every project.
Each presenter also made a presentation slide -- I am sure it is not too hard to make but boy is it good for presentation. These kids have been armed with skills that will help them later.
On Sunday, we went to a senior brunch and then took a walk in the school's arboretum. We talked about the future, about Thanksgiving and Christmas and about graduation. Cheshire is spending a lot of energy considering what she will do next year, and what her long term plans are. She spent Saturday night in our hotel room and it was good to all be under the same roof. How I miss that girl!Julia jumped on a very large rock and shouted, "I am happy. I am happy."
Dad didn't look too shabby either!
