A taste of college life

As I have mentioned, Katy applied to the University of Alabama in Huntsville early (it was an easy application) and was accepted and offered a very nice merit scholarship. They have overnight events for admitted students with three scheduled this semester and then they’ll have some next semester, too. They run from Sunday to Monday […]

A trip to Rocket City

The last stop on our 2019 College Tour, which actually started in 2018. The University of Alabama in Huntsville has been on our radar since Katy’s first trip to Space Camp in 2012 when she was 10. She’d always wanted to be an environmental engineer even though I kept telling her you don’t have to […]

Vacation Part II: Sea and Fun

The other thing I thought would be fun to do was the beach on Mustang Island so we did that on Thursday. It’s about a two-hour drive and a five-minute ferry ride from Victoria. I told Heath and Katy how back in the ’70s and ’80s the ferry line would be two or more hours […]

Vacation Part I: History and Humidity

We were overdue to visit my parents in Victoria and usually we take a couple of weeks and drive. This year with the shortage of time, we decided to fly and I […]

A college visit twofer

This week we decided to visit two campuses of the same university. I’m not real sure how Georgia Southern got on our radar. Katy and I met with an admissions counselor at a college fair so that might have been it and it’s gets mentioned, I’ve known who have gone there. Then they had an […]

Food, Fun and Friends.

Thursday, Flying and Food All we did this weekend was eat. OK, we caught up with friends and did some sightseeing but there was lots of good food involved. It was Heath’s high school reunion. This group focuses on the Singapore American School classes from the 50s through the 70s but anyone is welcome. I […]

Here Comes the Thunder

No, we haven’t had any bad weather unless you count the heat wave. Here Comes the Thunder is the fight song for Georgia College & State University, our latest adventure in “where does Katy want to go to college”. The school mascot is a bobcat named Thunder. All I knew about the school was Katy’s […]
