One week down.

Youngest son has one week of college under his belt.  His impression after one week is that it is hard, but he likes it.  He likes being out and about in the world.  He says that he feels like adulthood kind of hit him all at once this week.  He started college, he got a phone and opened a bank account.  In the next few weeks, he'll possibly be getting a car.  We've got a lot of car trouble going on around here and 2 of our cars are down, which leaves us with 3 cars and 4 drivers.  Since I am unemployed, most of the time this is not a problem.  I have a generous offer of the use of my oldest son's truck if I need a vehicle during the time of day that I don't have one, which is just the middle of the afternoon.   Anyway, he likes college. He finds the math class boring because he already knows what they are covering now and he pretends to take notes.  He doesn't actually take notes for 3 reasons, one is that he still doesn't write well, two is that he doesn't need to take notes to remember things and three is that he has already covered this material in his homeschool work.  I have a little worry that when he is going to take the test he will do things like write the numbers backwards but he says that since he is considered disabled because of his dysgraphia, he will have double the time of everyone else to get his test done and he says that in that time, he can check to make sure they are not backwards.  I just kind of think that if he knew reliably he wouldn't write them backwards in the first place?  He says he will be fine and hopefully if he's not he will ask for help.
