Birthday and graduation party

KJ will be 16 on Monday and has now graduated from highschool. *sigh* Last night, we had a gathering at our house to celebrate both events, plus it was a chance to relax with friends. I gave away or sold most of my homeschool stuff which was kind of bittersweet. I'm happy, but nostalgic. We still have a little work to do in preparation for college since he wants to CLEP a course or two, but for the most part we're out for the Summer. KJ has orientation for MCC on June 9 and then he'll be allowed to register for his classes. His classes will be

Math - yet to be determined based on a test score
Commercial Music Theory I
Commercial Music Sight-Singing/Ear Training I
Piano Class
Survey of Music Buisness
Small Commercial Music Ensemble - Cont. Christian
Applied Music Lesson
for a total of 13 hours.

In other news, I've found a job for the Summer which I'm hoping I might be able to make work in the Fall also. If not, at least I have a job for now and I'm supposed to work 20 hours a week on the Baylor work study program in the Fall. I've also registered and gotten all my financial aide taken care of. My classes are
Ecology
Foundations of Evolutionary Biology
Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy w/ lab
Organic Chemistry I
Elementary Statistics

for a total of 16 hours. After that, I can enter the graduate program in the Spring.

I'll end this with some pictures from the party. By the way, KJ buzzed his hair so he is the one with REALLY short hair.

Oh this is hard! KJ is a graduate! I saw all music courses for him at MCC. Please encourage him to do something else with his life with music as a hobby. Please? Just for Grandmomma?

You are going to be a busy girl in the fall, arent you? I'm glad you're going back to school. I know you have wanted to for a long time.

You sound really happy and that makes me smile!

Love you,
Mom/Grandmomma

Don't say anything about 16 year olds and graduating. Baby Boy is recently 16 himself, he's driving me all over town, and he's taking his college entrance exam next week.

I'm a disaster, he's just chillin'.

So I take it KJ is going into the music industry? Good for him! At least he has some direction, so many don't at that age.

I found out that KJ wants to teach music at the college level!! He will be so good at that!

Love you,
Mom
