A choice to make.

On Wednesday I got a letter in the post from Presentation Secondary School where Nic was supposed to go in September. It seems for some reason they have decided to combine their school with another in town here called the Mercy. Nic had asked about going to the Mercy when we discussed but we quickly ruled it out because there were certain ‘friends’ of hers that were going there. I don’t mind her mixing with them a few hours a week, but all week in school… no,  wouldn’t be happy about that.

Anyway, it was actually a good thing. Myself & Trev discussed it on Wednesday night & we were really worried about what was going to happen. It turns out we needn’t have worried at all. On Thursday morning I got a phone call from a woman in Salerno Secondary School wondering if Nic was still interested in a place there. I couldn’t believe it. What luck. I asked her if she could wait for an answer until tomorrow & she said no problem.

When I told Nic about the phone call I had to almost pry her from the cieling. It was so funny. I can’t remember the last time I seen her eyes bulge so big. I think this almost comes close:

We didn’t make any decisions until we spoke to Trev last night, but he asked one simple question:

Which is the better school?

Salerno wins hands down, simple as that. So today I rang the school to accept the place. We’re waiting now for the forms to come out so I can fill them out & confirm our acceptance of the placement.

I’m really glad she got in there, but I think it’s going to cost a lot more to send her there. We’ll just have to wait & see. It’ll be worth it though.
