Jordan came home from France right after Memorial day. He was anxious to return rather than stay a few extra weeks. One of the adjustments he had was the amount of food we eat. We took him to a Mexican restrauant and he could not believe how much food he was served or how much Jared ate. He also commented that the noise level was almost unbearable, in France, you can speak softly and be easily heard.
He has yet to complete his blog on his adventures in France. Towards the end, the work load got to him and he was preparing to come home. We are trying to encourage him to write more on his adventures. He did take us out to a tree to show us how to remove a cork from a wine bottle with a shoe and a tree. It loses somethig in translation from the utube video. It's best to use a big tree. For some reason, everyone was reluctant to volunteer their shoe.
He then spent two weeks in San Diego visiting friends at UCSD. We figure he was camping out on his couch he lent out and we caught up with him at his graduation. 8am in the morning...... a cold, gloomy, misty morning with a ceremony that exceeded two hours. I don't know, High school graduation didn't seem to be that great an acomplishment (a typical asian view....you are expected to continue on to college.. and knowing that Jordan probably slept through half of high school). Though we are proud of his graduation, it seems anticlimatic, knowing that he is planning to go on to grad school. Talk about assumed expectations...... As parents, we expect our son's to achieve that level. Others would be estatic, Gayle and I are ...... whats next?
