Patrick insists on learning about life the hard way. He's a lot like
his old man that way. I'm just glad he only sat out one semester
before deciding to go to school. The next painful lesson will be that
you can get the same class at a suburban community college as you can
at the urban community college, without dealing with rush hour traffic.
That one's going to hurt. Because everyone knows that the suburbs are
populated by homophobic, racist, neo-nazis and hyper-prosteltizing
christian pink-o's; and the urban areas are populated by intellectuals,
social progressives, artists, philosophers, chess players and
punkpeople. Damn its a pain when the world turns out to be more
complex than you thought.

Ah - Sean had this same problem last semester (also his 1st). We went
on
the last day to register because he had to do it in person being a
frosh and
we ended up with classes at 3 different campuses on every day of the
week -
that is, some days he would go to the main campus, other days he went
to 2
other campuses, all about 20 miles apart from one another. I say "we"
because son doesn't yet drive alone and the bus service here is quite
limited. Thankfully, this semester, he registered on the 1st or 2nd
day
available, got one online class and all other classes on the main
campus
just on T's and R's, so "we" are much happier. We may even try the bus
service this week or next for practice so mom can get a break and
maybe find
a paying job.
Yours in co-misery.

I advised him that registering for classes was not something a first
semester freshmen should put off to the last moment. I described some
of the probable consequences, without admitting that at one time or
another I had suffered them all. His mother agreed with me! And he
of
course ignored us both.
But, he did report that indeed, the classes he had wanted were with
one exception filled, and the classes he was able to get were all at
inconvenient times. And it was possible that I and been right, that
some of these problems could have been avoided if he had registered
earlier.
But, that was last week. It was temporary. I have returned to my
natural state as a candidate for a full body condom.

Yesterday, he reluctantly informed me that I had
been correct about something. I'm was just so darned happy to hear
that!
