Yay!! In the car a while ago “mom, can we take a look at (SUNY) Oneonta?”
Me: Sure. Why don’t you hit the website, find a date that works for you, and book it? And for the record, Delhi is only about 20 minutes from Oneonta. Want to see it too? I’m not sure your scores can get you into Oneonta, but the odds at Delhi are better.
Her: Sure. I can retake the SAT in October, right?
Me: yep. Want me to register you?
Her. Sure. Where are we thinking of eating in Disney World next summer?
We’ll see whether not she books it, but at least it was on her mind. I think the college kids at work talking about going back to school may have started the wheels turning.
But we had a productive conversation she initiated, and it didn’t end in an argument.
Absolutely a sign of progress.
