madrobinsSarcasm Girl registered for her classes yesterday--well, for three of them, and the fourth today. The bill came to a $264 (including the Health Fee) which is going to make it easier to pay for the rest of her educational career when that happens. She's taking Intro to Psych, Women in American History, Survey of Classical Drama, and Beginning Acting.
And then, when her state ID arrived, she went to the bank and opened a student checking/savings account. She had been totally dreading doing this, and had had me go with her the first time (when we discovered that a passport and birth certificate were not sufficient ID since neither had her current address on them). But today, all enrolled in college and filled with righteousness, she went in to the bank on her own, armed with a list of what she wanted and didn't want (no fees, want interest on the savings) and emerged, filled with glee, with the accounts.
I pointed out to her that this was the sort of adulthood stuff she had been dreading and seeing as insurmountable, and she giggled. "Not so hard," she admitted. "Is adulthood all like this?"
I fluffed off the question; what the hell do I know about adulthood?
