College

The last time I wrote about Abigail, my daughter was over a year ago. A lots of things happened since.

First, she grew up to a beautiful young lady. Second, she graduated from high school with very good marks. And finally, she was accepted to the college of her first choice. So now, she is a college student.

Nowadays this is a very funny position to be in. She goes to college but then she does not go to college. So far she did not see the inside of her school because all her courses are taught on line. There are live lectures, there are meetings with her study groups and there are tests, all on line. What a world we live in!

She actually doesn't mind this because this way she can sleep later and there is no need to take public transportation to the city which might not be the best experience.

I forgot to say that her college is in Manhattan and this way there was no need for her to go out of town and live on campus which was a relief for us. I know a few people who went out of town to school and are living on campus. That life is no longer what they expected. No parties, various health restrictions and occasional lockdowns.

Maybe this is for the better because they have nothing else to do but study and this way they will be smarter when they finish school.
