College Bound

TRIUMPHANT:  This morning we headed to South Seattle College campus so that CJ could take his placement tests to see if he could qualify for Running Start/full time college come this fall, though he'd be a high school junior on 'paper'/by age, otherwise. 

In preparation, we went over So Many practice tests. He was as ready as he could be, for sure.

We went in, paid the fee, wished him well and then Annabelle and I went and ran errands while CJ went about his business. 

About 90 minutes later, we returned to pick up the triumphant CJ. He nailed the tests, qualifying for enrollment in both math and English at the collegiate level. Mission accomplished! 

I suggested we go to the bookstore to buy him a collegiate hoodie for posterity. He donned it proudly and I asked him to do a "Rocky" pose on our way back to the car. We all smiled when the "Rocky" tune "Eye of the Tiger" was playing when we got back to the car. 

We continued the celebration with lunch at Popeyes. The kids love fried chicken and had never been there before. They were super underwhelmed with the food, and Annabelle noticed the 'honey' was not really honey. It was a honey 'sauce.' :/

Popeyes disappointment aside, a momentous day for MPA. Congrats to CJ!
