Ha! That's the last line of J's acceptance letter from Hampshire!
Very fitting, very perfect wording with which to woo him. How clever are they?!
(one of his babies - a black Rickenbacker; wherever he goes, it will most definitely go with him! )

His acceptance letter from Hampshire College came in today's mail, with another decent sized merit scholarship. I'm telling you again, though, that even "the largest, most prestigious" merit award a college offers doesn't necessarily look all that large when compared to the cost!!
Next Monday, we're off to visit Bennington College. That should be a fun day. I haven't been to Bennington (the town) in a long time, but I really love it there. Besides getting to know the campus in person, my goal is to find the Crazy Russian Girls Bakery. Maybe we'll even sneak in a visit to Bennington Potters.
And Hampshire has special overnight stays for accepted students, so he'll probably sign up for one of them. He'll stay in a dorm, eat in the cafeteria, attend classes, etc. - probably one of the best ways to get to know a college before actually attending.
To be young, to have so much of your life ahead of you, to have so many opportunities from which to choose - what an exciting time! But how many of us appreciate it at that time? I'm going to guess not many. :)
