Meanwhile, my kid is grinding his way through a crowded final semester of undergrad. Trying to finish his Honors thesis -- despite his advisor dying suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago -- and trying to grind out law school applications in between writing sessions.
Meanwhile, we're just relieved to have unexpectedly gotten a call from the wait list for our preferred hotel and now have all four nights of our trip in for graduation squared away.
The difference in hotels? Walk out the back door of the hotel and straight into The Grove (where the mass ceremony is held at 9am on Sat) vs a 45 mile drive + extremely hellish parking miles from the venue.
