Dropping everything else and getting my son's college applications sent out. Lighting a fire under him is the hardest part, though he wants to go. He just can't see far past all of the homework they're buried him under this semester. Though many schools have deadlines in the next six weeks, some of them have a Dec. 1 deadline. If we treat all of them as a Dec. 1 deadline we'll get that out of the way and free ourselves up to search for scholarships.
