The Toad went to an Open House for a college yesterday. They are offering associate degrees through the local hospital. (Of course, those courses are in the medical field.)
He went. On his own. His grandmother was the one who pointed it out--and she basically left the rest of us out of the loop--finally. She's finally getting it.
Anyway, he left yesterday afternoon, about an hour and a half before the Open House was to start. We had no idea if he would really go or not (and in all honesty, I secretly hoped, but wasn't getting excited either way.)
He came home and had the information--and he had gotten answers to my questions. It's not like before--where he goes through the minimal motions to convince us he's serious.
Apparently, working at a fast food restaurant is hell. And he's decided that he doesn't like hell.
He understands he'll be continuing to work, and taking classes. He understands that I'm not paying for much (and even that doesn't start until AFTER he's completed--with GOOD grades--the first term.
Cross yer fingers--Sunday may definitely be coming soon (or at least sooner than I expected.) He's either truly ready to do something with his life, or he's gotten to be a much much better actor.
Time will tell.
