governor's scholar......

ok, so my middle child leaves home today for a 5-week stint as a governor's scholar........and though we are only driving him across town.....it is still 5 weeks......and parents are only allowed to 'visit' campus on july 10.......i have offered the use of the restaurant washing machine for saturday mornings......trc is within the legal 'walking distance/perimeter' for scholars on centre campus........church is also within the legal limit.......but all of these options are up to him.......he is probably looking forward to 5 weeks away from everything except the task at hand....learning russian......and experiencing college life...........and meeting other smart-kids......the general gist of governor's scholars is to entice the best and the brightest in the state to take a closer look at kentucky schools......and hopefully to choose a ky college.....uk offers free rides to governor's scholars........and other colleges 'make it worth it' in some way.......ah well.....i just have to get over this pre-emptynest angst............
