Today, Scout’s college is my college too.

I’m at Emerson College in Boston today. Our daughter is a freshman here. I’ll be in 3 or 4 classes today, talking about leadership, non-profit managment, marketing, advocacy. I believe I’ll be going to more classes today than my daughter. Although I have heard that she does go to classes, participates and even writes papers. I find this comforting.
I’ve also heard that she will finish her freshman year in less than 4 weeks. In fact, Scout told me this last night over dinner at the Trident. I had the chicken quesadilla.  Scout had soup and carrot cake. Not an obvious pairing but it worked for her.
In three weeks, Scout will no longer be a college freshman. So much work, so little time. I could see the panic in her face.
In three weeks, she will be home for the summer. Â Â She could probably see the panic in my face.
