Reply to "college freshman difficulties"

So far...LOVES his teammates, Food is average (chipotle seems to be just as good in college as at home), some communication issues with ex-girlfriend since back at school but that seems to have worked itself out (with a side of drama), LOVES hanging with the boys (his freshman teammates on his floor), and does not miss home/mom/dad much. Some reminders on our expectations for him as a student have been communicated regularly and he has told us that he is the only guy on his team to not miss a class yet.

He DID sleep thru a team lift (many extenuating circumstances caused it but ultimately his fault). The punishment was extensive from the strength coach. Weight room is on basement level of women's basketball/volleyball arena that has 3 levels (extra tall levels). Had to take every dumbbell from bottom of dumbbell rack (75s to 125s in 5 lb increments) from basement to 3rd level. Clean them. Then take them all back down. Son is a beast in the weight room and has worked hard enough to heave several times in the past and said that it took him over 2 hours (even with a little help from his accountability partner). He said he has never worked so hard in his life. He nor his 4 baseball teammates on the floor won't let it happen again. Lesson learned!
