College Student #2
  • His Kinesiology class starts on Tuesday, but the teacher already sent out the syllabus, so he's already getting started with his class.  I sat down with him and we went over the syllabus and grading rubrics together.  I explained Office Hours to him and we looked at his Week 1 assignments.  He's starting early today with Week 1.
College Student #1
  • Finished finals and all of her classes for the Spring semester.  All A's AGAIN.  She has a 4.0 GPA as a sophomore.  She's taking a break over the summer.
Both college students are already registered for their fall classes at the college and I paid their tuitions already.  We just need to buy their school books in August.
