Frankie and I will be making the trek to JMU in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow.  She is auditioning on flute for their music program and is not showing any signs of nerves.  Yet.  Her boyfriend Richard will be joining us.  I do not know what he is going to do if she goes away to school in the Fall.  He is a good kid, though.  So, at 5:00 in the morning we set out since we have to be there to sign in at 8:00.  

Me, I plan on bringing my project management textbook and studying for my final which is to be taken no later than tomorrow night.   I just hope Richard does not talk my ear off while I am trying to study.  At least he is courteous enough to ask me if it is okay for him to tag along.  Frankie is making sandwiches and we plan to brown bag it to save on costs.  What a good kid!  

I have turned into a bit of a night owl again and getting up is going to be a struggle for me.  But this will be fun.  Just like the last time when Frankie and I took a trip up to JMU to check it out.  It is a really nice self-contained campus.   She will not need a car if she attends and is already requesting a bike.  That would be a great idea.  JMU has campus buses and contracts with local transit that buses the students to the mall and other stores at no cost to them.  Here is to Frankie getting lots of scholarships!

Guess I should start to wind down and get my materials and other necessities ready for tomorrow.   It is going to be cold and I am not sure if I want to take the Jeep or the Malibu.  The Malibu definitely gets better gas mileage.  And it would be more comfortable for three persons to ride in the car.  Guess we will decide that in the morning.  I am tired just thinking about it.
