University Fair

Thousands of 17 year olds. A half dozen parents. University professors who drew the short straw.

I spent a frenzied hour at the university fair gathering brochures and hoping that my son wouldn't see me sneaking around behaving like a mother.

It was useful for me. I spoke to the registrar of the university he is most interested in and I think it's a good choice for him. I later told my son that I had gone and it led to a wonderful heart to heart. I am reassured that he is taking his life and his future seriously.

Now if only I could go back to school too!
