Friday, Philip came home for the holiday weekend. I know he just left but I can't tell you how nice it was to see him again. In true college student fashion, he brought a suitcase stuffed to the brim with dirty laundry. Not one stitch of clean clothes! That is okay. I'm a good laundry doer and he had clean clothes here anyway.
So he says he is loving college. He said "I found my people". He is surrounded by fellow aggressive student engineers that are learning and growing. He already sounds too smart for his own good. He said his Calculus 3 class is pretty intense but it sounds like he is keeping up okay. He likes his roommate and they have lots of fun. He said he is walking 3-4 miles a day to class and around campus. And he even went to play soccer at 1:00 am the other night. He is staying in the honors dorms so the reputation of the school being a party school apparently doesn't transfer over to his area. In fact, partying is highly frowned on. Maybe he is just saying that to rest his mother's anxiety but it sounds good anyway.
We've had a good weekend going out to eat, getting his hair cut, buying better supportive shoes, and he spent some time with Tiffany. All good stuff.
I know I'll be sad to see him leave this afternoon but it really was a good visit and I can't wait until his next school break to see him again.
