He's not the only one who feels lost when facing some of these tasks. Hmmm. Perhaps by trying to do this, I could stop sucking at housing hunting, job hunting, and taking classes. As for the part about fannish events, I'm glad that I took him to M.O.F.O. a few weeks ago. You're right about making one's own mistakes. He talks a lot about how fun it is to go off campus to a wireless-enabled establishment with his friends and their laptops, so he's having a great time when he's not in class or one of the eight mandatory services a week. Relationships are a major component of life decisions. There's this teenage girl who always comes to con with her parents, who Andy and I played a board game with at Penguicon. I couldn't read his mind when I introduced them, so I don't know. But the memory of that game caused your idea to simultaneously occur to me.
