Oh yes, change is inevitable. It is part of life. Yesterday was my daughter's first day back to technology school without homeschooling to go with it.
That wouldn't have been a problem but when she arrived her teacher was changed, the computers went from PC to Mac, the desks were no longer in a row, but in a cube of four....the list went on.
That was a lot for a person who is an introvert and mildly OCD. As I explained to her, it is like switching jobs. This is part of the life skill training she will need. (But deep inside I wanted to fix it and make it better.)
I truly believe this is going to be a great year for her AND me. I have decided to make some big changes too but I am keeping it quiet until my plans solidify. You wouldn't believe how people talk amongst themselves and make it their business to know YOUR business. I just don't want the pressure, nor do I want to be the subject of conversations...especially if my plans fall through.
So...prayers for our changes would be appreciated. :)

Good luck with your life changes Parsley :)
Exciting times-You have My prayer to Our Lord-Denise
Some genius once said, "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines."
I hope your sweet girl adjusts quickly and does well and will pray that you do well too.
Oh Parsley! We are going through big changes are our home right now too. So hard on this mama. I am praying for you all.
Oh Parsley, hoping the changes in your daughter's life and yours go smoothly. And you were so right in telling her that it is a life skill experience. All of these experiences will help with her journey down the road of life.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I totally get it! I remember as a child my family changed our couch out for a new one... I bawled and screamed enough to kill someone! That couch was horribly ugly (as in poop brown shaggy material), but I loved it! How dare they change it.
Not much has changed now, I'm still set in my ways and change still makes me uncomfortable but I'm not afraid of it. Putting myself in life changing situations has actually been very rewarding and I wouldn't 'change' (pardon the pun) for the world.
Good luck with everything!

Maybe I can help as a college lecturer pre-bc (breast cancer rofl_.
Parsley's daughter: sometimes courses are really popular or are not popular enough and so colleges often alter formats and set ups. I am guessing here they are trying to make the college more like a work situation as working with computers in a company you are often put in sterile cubicles: if you have your moms imagination you will find a way to make it yours and make it work for you.
Sadly tutors change; they have lives so it may be that hey change colleges, have babies or are crap in which case you don't want them.
Just focus on the goals of the course; see the end result and (excuse the french) kick ass to achieve them. I have Aspergers and I used to have to teach in this environment: if I can do it (super-anal) you can too!!! Know that we are all behind you and are supporting you and your mum (cus she is so needy rofl). You are only actually at college for just over 30 weeks if you take into account holidays; take out of those weeks weekend and you will see it is very little time at all. You can do this. Just focus on the course materials and what you actually want from this. Your so lucky: you know there is life outside college because you were home ed; so use this to keep some perspective. The first two weeks are the hardest, it will get much easier I promise xx
Prayers for the changes and paws and fingers crossed tight over here. Now you got us wondering what the changes are? Guess we will have to wait. Drats. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

I don't do change well either.
So, I understand - and pray that God will ease the new transitions, and that He will teach us mighty things when He takes us out of the *comfort zone*.
GOD BLESS!
Change is the only constant and evidence of life. I look forward to seeing what you have in the works. Know that you have many friends here and we all support your efforts! :)

I'm not a fan of change either but I know that without it no growth would occur. So it draws me closer to the Lord. Praying that it will do the same for you and your daughter.

I wish you all the best and keep us informed
