tonight's moment of surreal

[mickeym]

Was sitting at the kitchen table with my son, going through the course selections for next year. His JUNIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

So, after that moment of freaking out, we got back on track. Next year's class choices/requirements: English III, Geometry, Chemistry, US History (those are the requirements). Electives will be Shop (large engines), Military history (modern), Team Winter Sports, Computer Tech and Emergency Procedures.

A rather eclectic group of classes isn't it? I wanted him to do JROTC since he talks quite a bit about wanting to join the military, but he said he doesn't want to have to "spend" the whole year. (Each school year at his school is divided into three terms; the JROTC class would be what they call an A/B/C class--all three terms. The required classes are all A/B, and most electives are either A/B or A OR B.)

Anyway. Junior. I'm feeling kind of old tonight. o_O Hopefully some of y'all are too, those of you who remember me talking about having to change the baby *g*

It comes round so fast, doesn't it? We got a letter from DS's school this week about what options he wants to study next year, with a reminder that it will govern what he exams he takes at GCSE (aged 16, in Year 11). He's currently 13 and in Year 8, I can't get my head round GCSE options!. Only yesterday he was this little blond curly-headed 4 y.o. moving from nursery to infants school, and he seemed so grown up to me. Where did the time go, exactly?

I dunno, but I'd like some of it BACK. Good lord. It just doesn't seem possible that this is my kid--and yet. I do miss the little guy at times.

Makes me wonder where/what I'll be doing hen mine's that age. :)

It kind of hits you sometimes, doesn't it - how damn fast they grow and how it's all rushing past.

It just blows my mind that he's sixteen now. I knew he would get there (here?) eventually, but it's just. Wow. Y'know? And a year from now I'll be sitting here thinking, "ARGH! SENIOR YEAR!" *facepalm*

*hugs you*

Yup, my baby's going to be a sophomore in high school. Babe, she's gonna be 15 next month!

It ain't right. That's all I gotta say.

My baby will be graduating from university this year. It is very strange.
