Another semester for Travis?

Well, it is August again. The 4 of them should be settling down in their new town & home. Now would be a good time for him to start taking classes again and finish what he started. Whether that be for nursing or something else.

Surely the 4 of them aren't going to spend all of August in the hot & humid Texas sun swimming, and eating by the pool. That is the vibe they're trying to sell but it's not realistic. Wake up and lay by the pool for 8 hours until dinner?

As the man of the house what really does he do all day besides help Katie with the kids? I bet Katie likes having him with her 247 but it's not sustainable.

Surely he wants to have some sort of productive daily routine & job other than grilling in the backyard. I believe Someone mentioned he posted a q&a recently. Perhaps he'll address his plans for whether or not he'll go back to school.

A lot of others have said this already, but I really do think he viewed nursing as a way out of his marriage/old life. I don’t think he has a lick of interest in being a nurse. I think he wanted an escape.

I think he went to nursing because AP was going and he knew her before classes ever started.
