I have plans with my college-freshman niece today. When I called to find out what time I should head over, her mother told me not to rush, since Lisa-Lynn had finally crawled into the house last night at 7:30 this morning.
Ah yes. I remember college.
Of course, I ALSO remember promising my roommate that we'd go Christmas shopping up at the outlet mall 90 minutes away, and then forgetting and scheduling myself to work a double shift the night before, so that I worked from 7pm until 7am the morning of the trip. Nicole had no sympathy for me, and her only concession was to let me sleep until noon before dragging me out of bed and holding me to my promise. She made me drive, too.
So I told my sister-in-law that I'd be there around 12:30 or 1:00. If Lisa-Lynn isn't out of bed, that just means that she won't get to shower before I drag her off for our plans. I'm sure it won't be the first time in her college career that she's had to skip a shower or breakfast or something in order to make it to where she's supposed to be. I *know* it won't be the last time.
I remember college well.
