I was kind of thinking that after he went off to school, that something would click and he would be a little smarter (smarter according to Mom). Maybe it is that growing up is done in miniscule increments, and not leaps and bounds, that frustrates me. I was talking to him about his upcoming schedule and he hadnt given it a thought. He just thought that the baseball academic advisor would take care of it. I gently reminded him that his advisor up to this point wasn't the one taking classes, and that he should get a second opinion from an adivsor in his major's department.
I get yanked up sometimes because he is going to a 2 year school and there isn't any room for taking unneeded classes or the wrong classes. Time is short.
I also get yanked about him not calling or emailing me except when he needs something. (Perhaps that 'growing up' that I referred to earlier in this post.) Guess I'm feeling left out.
There is so much that I want to 'do' for him, I can't. I just want him to find success at his college, thanks for letting me ramble.
