I'm not really sure he understands sometimes the value of the opportunities that are presented him, though he seldom fails to take advantage of them. You know how it is, often it's not until years later when we realize the weight of certain events in our lives. I think he understands though that it's unusual to get to do physics research as an undergrad and that it's an important experience for the future.

Honestly I think he's more excited about sub-leasing an apt. rather than living in a dorm and the adventure of cooking for himself on a regular basis for the first time. It's going to be interesting to see how much weight he loses!

This brings up an interesting topic for another thread, I think sometimes our GT kids can get a little numb to the unique opportunities presented them, sometimes they have to be reminded just how blessed they are and be reminded to share their blessings by helping others.
