idealistic, confused, 20something mom rambling about life

h is coming to study here...i am so very happy for her but i must admit i feel a wee bit ambivalent about the whole thing. I know she's focussed but she's also a rebel in alot of wrong ways..university is the best experience especially when it involves travelling to another part of the world and living on one's own. But it comes with a hell lot of responsibility. At the end of it, i know she is capable and responsible but there is this gnawing fear that when she returns, she will have unexpected and unpleasant reality to face. Maybe im just being an old hag because i didnt get to live on campus..maybe its just disguised envy that im expressing but i dont know...
im happy that ill finally have family here - whether or not i get to see her is another issue but..well despite my reservations, im happy that she's paving the way for other future women of my family to go abroad to study. I just hope she makes the best of it.
