Today I sent in the middle school application. My son chose the school that is farthest away from our house, requiring a close-to-an-hour bus ride. It is a super-challenging academic school, and I was honestly surprised that my occasionally lazy child would want to go there. But he does. He thinks, in his words, that he will get “an excellent education.” Yeah, but you do know there’s massive homework, right?

So that part of the year is done, and now we wait for the testing/auditions (yup, auditions to get into the school–he wants either creative writing or art, it’s kind of like choosing a major, only for middle school), and then more waiting, and I think we find out where he got into in April.

Onto the next fun: Holidays! And I’m still riding the 21 hours of sleep I got over the weekend, so it doesn’t seem that daunting. Give me a few days.
