Cam's School Ride and First Day

 About two weeks ago we found out/ came to the conclusion that we couldn't afford for Cam to go to U of U. It was a mix of a lot of things: us not understanding that first year students can't  really get a lot in loans, he didn't get any FAFSA thanks to Brad and I, and not really any scholarships. How a boy can graduate from the number one public school in Idaho, with honors, getting a high SAT score and passing all his IB tests with 3s and above, and still not get anything? I won't get on that soapbox right now. Cam did all he could and still no help. 

Thankfully his high school made all the students apply to all the Idaho school, and apply for a scholarship that would pay for most of school. He is now going to ISU. If you go into certain fields, ones that are in high demand, you get almost all of your school paid for. I know you may think, why not do that first? But U of U was a dream for him. He has had a good/calm attitude with this last minute change. We feel bad, but really think it will be a good change. 

It was a little rush for a couple weeks to get everything changed over. We were looking for rooms, but couldn't find anything. All of Cam's classes ended up being on line, so for this semester he is going to live at home to save money. In January he will move up to ISU, which means I didn't cry the whole way home after dropping him off. 

He did go down this past weekend to get books and go to some new student activities. 

About where he and Cailey are standing.

He had a lot of fun, and will go up a few weekends to do other things. 

His first day was a little different than he thought it would be, but still a busy first day. 

Since he was going to school, he got a candygram as well. 

His says, "Just when you thought you could 'Chill', it's time for some 'Extra' school! You're no longer a 'Junior' and college can be 'Outrageous' but don't be 'Sour'. Get to 'Rasien'' grade because 'Nutter butter' than an A+. You'll handle this year like a 'Beast'!!
