Roller coaster I: Get Us (The Parents) Through Plebe Year - Class of ‘26 🎢

Kid's last exam is next Wednesday (10th).

We were going to meet him to go out and get Yama Sushi on Saturday with my parents, but he realized he has an exam at 1300. So we'll take some with us to-go and take it to him and then get some ice cream downtown, as a family.

He gets leave after his last exam until the next Sunday (about 4 days), so we'll scoot down to pick him up then. He's got a chit to report back on Monday the 15th so he can go with his GF to see Taylor Swift in Philly on that Sunday (Mother's Day). At least he will be able to hang out for brunch or something in the morning for HIS mom before he has to drive up there to hang with the GF and her mom. :rolleyes:
Hope that all works out for you. Mine had approved leave, tickets home bought.

In true Semper Gumby fashion, had a training added yesterday. Poof 💨, not coming home.

Also cancelling our family trip out to see our Ensign this summer. He also messaged me that he is being sent away for a schooling for a month.

It’s been an awesome day 😆🥹

My sympathies. I think it’s time for you to buy a Stretch Gumby to have ready at hand for stress (fury) relief.

Well, there is the advantage of us with being local. Easy to change plans around with the dude. Sorry you have to deal with that. :(

He said his final class is tomorrow. But hasn't really been doing much in classes except reviews and final normal class tests.
 
Heh Heh Heh, the university where my wife and I teach ended the semester today and they have reading days Weds and Thurs with first final on Friday. We teach our classes on Tues/Thurs but today (tues) was Friday schedule so we actually finished LAST THURS and have been on the West Coast since last Friday. We do have to come home in a couple of days and actually do our grading but really, not giving final exams is working for us. . .
 
I do not miss grading exams. I had a TA who gave them a first pass but it would take days. Part of the reason I quit teaching.

ugh - so sorry to hear but not surprised - mine is trying to come home next week....I still have not bought a ticket - just waiting to see what is happening.....
 
Kid's last exam is Wednesday morning. Will be picking him up after around noon. He was seeing if he was going to help someone with a watch shift, but he thinks he's backup to the friend that asked.

We went down and saw him Saturday as well after his Chem II exam. It was a nice visit on a great day. Went into DTA and got some ice cream with him after giving him the sushi lunch my parent's had gotten for him (he was supposed to meet us for lunch, but the exam conflicted).
