to college or not

[Think About It....]

i am determined not to think about the "what is next". and am enjoying the "don't have to worry " of today ( well as best I can tell)

My dd is still at camp with only one ER visit thus far and a fabricated bronchitis.

However her fb is showing her increasing anxiety as to what will happen in September.

over the last week it has been from attending UW. where she was accepted but never responded to no way UW and attending Martins where she also was accepted but never responded to acceptance just this week to NW where I don't think she even applied to today's post of making her mind up between a camp internship, UW or university of Grand Canyon where she claims she will be accepted next week. 

The poor dear. 

ITMT. I am away one writers retreat and enjoying every moment of the coast

twojaybirds going to college has been one of the expectations I have finally come to accept that my dd may never do.

dd attended college for about 6 weeks last year and then left. The college tried really hard to work with dd to go back, but dd refused, preferring to spend all her days with b/f. I thought she was really getting stuck in and loved it. Now she said she loved it for the first week! ?
Since then she has made several applications to do a vairety of other courses, but never attends the interviews and always tries to avoid the colleges when they try to contact her. She said that she began another course and went for 1 day a few weeks ago, but then decided that it wasnt what she wanted to do and she didnt think she would be going back. I know that isnt true as enrollment begins in sept, so I just listened. Now She says that she has been accepted onto another course in September. Realistically,with her pregnancy and low moods atm  I dont hold out any hopes that it will work out.

my own dd failed two years uni in a row when she was 18 & 19. She went off to work saw she needed to get some quals and subsequently became determined to get into uni. She applied for what we call here (in Aust) TAFE which has certificate & diploma courses - and was declined because of her uni records. She applied again the next year and got accepted. Study has always validated her intellect, so she does well usually. She worked fulltime and studied parttime. When she got a diploma, she applied again to uni to complete a degree. She got in. Working and studying, supporting herself. We thought that she had 'grown out' of her probelms. Hah!

She graduated with her degree, got a high powered job as a graduate trainee, in a bank and within 12 months had crashed. That was about 2 years ago now. Since then she hasn't had a 'proper' job - just casual work.

So, with determination, she got her degree. But it didn't do anything to help her manage her BPD.
