Yesterday, my son had day two of college and then we had board game night last night. Apparently the second day went pretty well. When we talked to him about it last night, he said that the one class he was worried about, college algebra, turned out not to be as difficult as he was expecting and that he was actually bored because the material that they covered in the first class, he has known since he was 9 years old. He did say that according to the syllabus, by the end of the semester, they will be covering stuff that he knows, but could use a refresher on. It crossed my mind that he should take a CLEP test for college algebra and take something else in place of it while drop/add is still open, but I don't think he's going to. We didn't know if he'd talk in his classes. He talks a lot at home, but has usually been pretty reserved out in public. This has changed though and he's feeling confident and has spoken out and answered questions in all of his classes. :-) It makes me happy and I feel that he's really going to represent homeschooling well.
Board game meetup in our new venue didn't go as well. It's loud and distracting and I think my son, who is kind of the board game leader, was a bit too distracted by his other friends who hang out there and so some of the kids didn't have as much fun. I asked the venue and they are going to give us our own room from now on so we can concentrate on what we're doing and also so we can make a lot of noise when we want to, so the other group can concentrate on what they're doing. :-)
