Sarah moved in to her dorm yesterday and starts classes on Tuesday at Rutgers University. Here's one of the directional signs. Sarah is studying acting at one of the top programs in the country the Mason Gross School. Her roommate is a friend from Pittsburgh. This is a great achievement that is a reward for her determination and drive.
We drove to New Brunswick, NJ on Friday and had dinner at a very nice Southern Cuisine/Soul Food restaurant near the campus. When the waitress found out Sarah was an entering Freshman, she brought out ice cream in a cup served on a platter. Written in strawberry sauce on the platter was "Welcome to RU!"
After dinner we went to a nearby Bed Bath and Beyond for a hold order of extra bedding. Next door was a Barnes and Noble with the same interior layout at the one in Cranberry near our home. I took Sarah back to the children's section, pointed to the stage and said, "this is just like where it all got started." When Sarah was about five she loved to go there and perform for then three year old John and infant Janine as well as Mom, Dad and Nana. She even got to put on a show for Grammy and Gramps once when they were visiting from Lincoln.
It was a full-circle moment, but I knew it was not a "finishing" moment. No, no if anything it was the start of something new.
