<p>DTdad–My son also said the same thing about going “home” but I’d read that on here so I was prepared it might happen. His nine year old brother was deeply offended though, and has continued to correct that any time any one refers to campus as “home.” </p>
<p>Ingerp—I finally did not cry when my freshman s left after Easter. I did feel a bit of a pall hanging in the air the next day, but nothing like how I felt after taking him to school in August, or even after Christmas. He’s just so darned nocturnal now, that after having dracula living here for Christmas and spring break, I’m a little relieved to get back to the normal routine. He has his car at school now, so when he came home for Easter he got home Friday night–at 1 a.m.!!! He gave somebody a ride without realizing they lived at the opposite end of the city, so that added a good 45 minutes, but still! So he would’ve been walking in at 12:15. We stayed up to chat until about 1:30, and I was like a zombie on Saturday. I love him to pieces, but I just can’t handle that late night stuff.</p>
