That's a huge 'get' for the architect!! Congratulations to her, and to you and Mr MK. What a wonderful opportunity!! Your brother is lovely.
Eldest is a bit frazzled about our plans, not liking the upheaval of house showings that begin tomorrow (EEEEEK!). She doesn't like being inconvenienced at all. Messes with her OCD. Yet she is excited about a new city, a new region.
Youngest is so deeply in la-la-land, in love with her boyfriend and her plans to leave America in June that she hasn't said much about our move. She is doing really well in school. I don't have teachers calling me to complain about missing or late assignments anymore. I took them both to their GP for a mental health check this week. Since they're both on meds they must be seen every 90 days. Youngest was chatting up a storm to the doctor about her plans, her degree choice (ecological biology), which was news to me. She is usually quite shy, so this is new behavior. She had spoken of pursuing pharmacy and then switched to general biology, but now there's ecological something being stated as fact. I haven't had a moment to read up on what it entails, or what specific jobs it would qualify her for. I feel very out of the loop honestly.
She told the doctor she wanted to get off her meds, that she doesn't feel she needs them anymore. So she was given a lower dose to step her down over the next months. Her boy comes back in May to attend her high school graduation, and then they leave together. Her plans are still to live with him at home until both graduate uni. I'm so worried that it won't end well, that his parents will tire of her. Ugh. We aren't close really, and this kills me.
Eldest is doing exceptionally well in her schooling. Her professors all seem to adore her, and she's at the top of her class so far. She's on track to graduate with her Bachelor's earlier than expected which has been a nice turn of events. She's decided to get work experience done before pursuing her Master's, instead of during the Master's program. Her chances of attending a more sought after Master's program is far higher with 1.5 to 2 years work experience in the bag. The new location has way more job opportunities for her to intern so she's pretty pleased. The meds have helped her OCD a great deal. She is a different girl. Less fidgety and angsty. Still has zero interest in dating, she is solely focused on being successful and getting on with her life.
