I just returned from helping Kyla move into her dorm at Yale. She will be a senior this year and I just can't believe it. Although it is her 4th year there, it is actually the first year I have had the pleasure of helping her move in. Buying posters and Ikea bookshelfs (not too many cinder block and board set ups at Yale), such fun. She has a single bedroom attached to a common room(living room) that she shares with 5 other girls. Being an old hand at everything Kyla gave all the terrified freshmen she met pep talks and advice. Such an experienced veteran.
As I walked around campus and looked at all the kids, so young and fresh and eager, I easily forgot that I was not one of them. It's such a shock to see another parent/child group and realize I am the equal of the old fogie and not the coed. The kids are all leaving the nest and finding their way. That I don't mind, it's the fact that I have to get older too.
Fyi, commencement for Kyla is Sunday May 21st and Monday May 22nd. Feel free to mark your calendars.
Update: The blogmeister has repaired Dara's post :)
