A Sign of the Times

 Mason got a welcome to the University of Minnesota package as part of his PSEO year. This was included.....

Show your school spirit everyone! Wear a mask! (And, you know, it's not like I don't agree with the idea, it's just... sad.)

Those are the same as what was (finally) given to maintenance workers. I do still like my Etsy mask better, but that one is not bad.

I like masks that stick tighter to my nose? But Shawn is going to do a little sewing magic to this one so that we can use it. (Them, actually, the U sent Mason two of these.)

It's so sad that kids are starting the next chapter of their lives like this.

[lydamorehouse]

It is.

Mason got a little depressed the other day when we drove into Coffman Union to pick up his University of Minnesota ID card. Even though he's still in high school, the U gives their PSEO students full access to campus life. Anyway, the campus is gorgeous and huge and awe-inspiring? And, he (like I for him) was hoping to get to kind of practice at college at the U? Including taking the light rail to class and being completely responsible for his own meals and all that stuff.

Ah well.

At least this *isn't* his freshman college year... though it is someone else's....

Wow is that a yay sob moment.

So much of this year in a nutshell.
