David Bowie’s song and Spencer Johnson’s book “Who Moved My Cheese?” are in my head today…
It is amazing how fast life can change. A little over two weeks ago, my son was planning to attend the local junior college. However that has all changed.
A little less than two weeks ago, the college coach e-mailed my son and told him that the next step was to fill out the application for the university and to complete the financial aid application.
When I heard that, I immediately focused on the financial aid. Why? Because to complete that, I have to have completed my tax return. So, figuring that was the long pole in the tent, I have been working on getting all of the information together to accomplish this task.
When my son got home from wrestling practice this evening, he informed me that the college coach had called him and asked if we had filled out the application to the university…
I had completely forgotten about that!
My plans to resume working on the taxes were scuttled and I went online to fill out the application. I got to the part of the application where they asked for his SAT and ACT scores…
Since he was going to attend a junior college, he wasn’t going to take the SAT.
Now, he has to!
So, I paused on the university’s application and began investigating SAT test dates online. It turns out that the deadline to register for the next test date is tomorrow! Can’t put that off…
So, I registered him online and called him to tell him that his spring break vacation plans just changed. In addition to visiting his friends in California, he will now be taking the SAT at Chatsworth High and studying quite a bit in preparation.
I then finished his application to the university and sent it.
I’m going to bed!
