Today I woke up at 5.30 AM. Also my big girl.
It was not like this image yet. It was a deep and dark night with a sky ful of stars.
The reason for that is that today was first day of school for her, first day at university.
Here, parents don't dump their children at the university in the first day and leave them alone and forgoten until next holidays. People go to classes everyday in the morning and come back at the end of the day to their homes.
So, I took her to the train station at 6 A.M. and at 7.40 she was calling me to say she was already at the university. She only begins classes at 8 but went early because it was first day.
Happily, mondays are the only days she has to go so early, usualy she will begin at 10.
I remember when it was me, I would arrange my schedule in a fashion I could stay there for the less time I could and come back home quickly.
I always prefered home and family to outside and strangers.

hope she had a good day at school..
Good for Portugal! I think that makes much more sense to treat school like work. I never liked being left at the university. It was such an artificial environment, and I was not into the adolescent party scene.
I would like my children to do the same. I know the oldest wants to do this, and/or do online university.
