Sunday--

I'm at the office reading files for admission committee. One of my secondary responsibilities is to read files of those students on the "bubble"

This is a part of my job that is hard, not difficult, but often emotional. Making decisions on the college lives of some of these students does not always feel good. At the same time, there are lots of colleges across the country doing the same thing, so I know I am not the only one who has to do this or grapples with the emotional aspect that is associated with these decisions.

My first attempt at a Blog!

I've never been particularly good at a diary, so I am not sure what makes me think this will work any better. I am going to try and do this daily so that I can keep track of our lives, but also the small, simple things that sometimes get lost in the daily shuffle.

Here's a brief introduction of the gang:

Christine: a.k.a Mom, Kettle: CFO of the Bowman household and employee of Southwestern University. I work in the Admission office as I have for the past 12 years.
