My dd is having the most difficult time choosing whether to go far from home or stay closer. I keep telling her no matter what her decision is I will back her 100%. I certainly am glad I am not the one who needs to make one of the most difficult decision she has had to ever make.

My DD will not even look at some schools where I think she would be the perfect fit. She feels they are too far away, about n 8-9 hour drive. While I wouldn't mind if she just stays home for the next4-5 years, I know I'll miss her terribly, I just feel some of these schools are worth looking at. She wants to be able to come home on weekends, no matter how many people tell her that most kids stay at school and don't want to leave once they are behind the homesickness and such. She has her second college visit in a few weeks. She loved Slippery Rock, so now on to Ball State.

Mine is gearing up for dance team auditions next month. She does her first prep clinic on March 28, so hopefully she'll know a lot more about the program after that. It appears that they run the tryouts so that if you miss the cut for the dance team, you can move right over to the spirit leaders tryout, which is less competitive. I think she'd have a lot of fun on either team, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Randy, she's doing much better this semester but still feels that it isn't "her" place. She'll finish out the year, so she's given it a fair shot which is all we ever wanted. She will register for fall classes at Earlham, just to keep her options open, and make a final decision over the summer.

Her plan is to take sophomore year at the local community college, and then transfer to UC Davis. She feels she'll be much more comfortable being so close to home, and several of her high school buddies go there. She'll of course lose her scholarship and financial aid, so she knows she'll have to kick in more of her own green stuff. We will be able to do our share, since soph year will be practically free. And a degree from UCD is nothing to be sneezed at. We're fine with the plan.
