Letters for my son: 15 days ’til college
Dorm room supplies purchased. Check.
Shots updated and record faxed to university health. Check.
School supplies purchased. Check. Except for rubberbands. Why on earth do you need rubberbands?
One navy blue sportjacket (required by the university) purchased, being tailored and waiting to be picked up. (Today?) Check.
School books bought online from the university bookstore (at a whopping $650). Check.
Two weeks and one day to go. I think we’re ready.

It’s no reflection on you or your planning; no matter HOW ready you think you are, inevitably there’s always an emergency trip to a Wal-Mart/Target/grocery store once you get to the college town.
