<p>S has been home a week and has virtually not left the house. He has little interest in his HS friends, almost constant communication with about a dozen college friends (IM, cell, etc.). Though he claims he doesn't feel this way, I happened to see a public posting from some of his friends saying how much they already missed UChicago, and wished it were January so they could get back to school. I'm glad twice, one that he is around home, and two that he has quickly made friends and loves his school and his life there.</p>
<p>The bad news is he has informed us that during the break between winter and spring quarter he and his friends are planning to spend a few days in Southern, CA (can't say I blame them). He did say he would come home first for a day or two. He and some of his friends are also talking about summer school on the east coast, so we are very grateful for this time with him.</p>
