Josh is Home

After a weekend in San Antonio with the Crossmen and for the Crossmen’s banquet, Josh arrived home late Monday afternoon from Baton Rouge. The night was spent eating pizza, visiting and watching the Crossmen’s 2008 Tour DVD.

Josh has been telling us about his time at LSU. It is clear that he loves the LSU program and the university as a whole….and the weather too.

Today the last Josh’s final grades were posted. He achieved in his first semester something he did not achieve once in high school….straight As. Congratulations to Josh. With his course selection, the next semester will be more demanding but he is looking forward to the challenge.

He leaves for the bowl game on the 28th. He will return for one more week at home on New Years day.

As a side note, because of the timing of the banquet Josh had to stay overnight in a motel. A number of vets were in the same situation and pooled their resources. Apparently Josh’s share was just over $6 for the one night as there were 12 of them in the two room hotel suite. Twelve left little room for walking around.

Jenn, I always thought you were a straight A student. Hmmmmm ... learn something new!

Enjoy your time at home Josh. Congrats on all your hard work paying off.

Well, all but one of my classes were in music, as well. That may have helped some...

Way to go, Josh. Straight A's is hard to do your first term away from home. The first year is traditionally the party year.

Catharine - don't go filling his head with silly ideas.

Joshua - Listen to your mother: the first year is the time to develop good habits.
