Yes, we knew it was expensive, but after a trip to the northeast visiting a few schools, we found out firsthand. My oldest daughter is a high school junior, she's into her schooling, and so are we. Needless to say, I will be blogging (hopefully) for many, many years to make this happen.
One thing I did see was the potential for many, many new readers. Everywhere you looked at these places all you see is young men and women at the library with their eyes riveted on their computer screens.
It is quite impressive, and it is actually a very reassuring feeling seeing all these folks earnestly pursuing their dreams. It makes you feel good about the future of this country, though.
