<p>I haven’t posted about my DS in quite awhile. He is graduating in a few weeks and did the music audition circuit this past winter. Our decision saga went right down to the skinny wire! A bit close for me but boy did we learn some lessons. Lesson #1: GET IT IN WRITING! He had been verbaled a “full out of state tuition shcolarship” by a big state U where he loved the prof in his instrument. After 4 auditions (big favorite state U included) we decided to bag 2 of his remaining auditions because of promises from the prof at said U. Long story short…big state U is in big $$$ mess and the scholarship did not come through. Soooo…thanks be to God that DS did audition at several other schools with teacher that he liked and he did earn a full tuition scholarship (and then some) at a safety. Lesson #2: love your safety. He will be living out lesson 2 next year. Anyway, we are all glad it is over and DS will be staying instate next year. Hopefully he can do some graduate study at his dream school…whatever it may be.</p>
<p>ps…it was neat reading some posts from people that I miss so much :soozievt, calmom, always love Bassdad, and many others. I am so busy even though DD is away in Boston and I just have the 2 DSs left at home. Now DD is addicted to CC!!! Too funny. She is ■■■■■■■■ around on the BU forum.</p>
