Sunday Happenings

It's been a pretty mellow weekend so far. Nick had a game yesterday (they got trounced), I made muffins, worked out, & continued organizing & cleaning out Sam's room. I sold a desk & some card games (from his room, they went into the "get rid of pile" before he left).

I received pictures from Sam's roommate's mom, as they stayed an extra day & took Sam & all of the suite mates out to dinner. Looked like everyone had a fabulous time, and it made me so relieved to see him happy & having fun with new friends. They were also playing corn hole & some other game out in the grassy area by their dorm. The weather in Corvallis this week is perfect, which is just what they needed.

Sam is reasonably introverted, and we talked a lot about needing to really put himself out there those first few weeks/months in order to meet friends & have fun, and really enjoy the college experience. So far, it looks like he's doing it! He's gone bouldering at the gym, attended the Friday night foam party (sponsored by the school), & yesterday attended his first college game. I don't think Sam even attended a high school game, so I was pretty shocked! He said they had a fantastic time!


Bonus that Oregon State beat Purdue yesterday, at the first game. :-) So, so glad he's having fun.

As for today:
  • Working out
  • Cleaning the house
  • Rustling up dinner
  • Prepping for two interviews tomorrow
  • Spending 2-3 hours with Nick on college applications
  • Working on a networking plan for next week
  • Doing a bit more gardening work, if I can get out before it gets too warm.
What about you? What are you up to today?
