I am on one of the campus computers right now... I can't even long onto the guest wifi anymore! I haven't been able to since yesterday afternoon! So aggravating!

I had the kids over for dinner last night. Unfortunately we had to cut it short, so all we got to watch is 1 stand up comedian DVD. They are really keeping the kids busy this weekend!

I mean I am glad I came... but I would have preferred a little more time with her this weekend!

Well... that was great! I wish I met her the first day I got here! While I was in the main lobby using one of the school's computers (just found that this morning!) an nice young lady comes down the stairs. Turns out she is a recent graduate from the school here for a visit.

I asked her if they were having trouble with the wifi and she said yes... wifi here sucks! and that I should be able to find an ethernet cord in the room... use it... it is much better.

i search... I find it... plug in.. everything is working great can even get to the sites i couldn't on wifi! (facebook/imdb/blog site).

I must say... I feel better now!

No, she is not drunk... she got in a laughing fit while watching Gabriel Iglesias.


Still enjoying the stand-up comedy.

The Painted Rock
Hollins has a tradition of taking pictures of the new first year students at their "Painted Rock." They did this today... so I got some shots as well...

<sitting in a rocking chair and complaining>

What is it about young folks nowadays? Look at that last picture - tongues out, strange facial expressions, choking another student - all kinds of weirdness going on.

When I was young...

I just got back from bringing Brittany some left over food I had in the suite... and said our final goodbyes before my getting on the bus to go home. Why is it that it seemed to be a lot easier on her then it was on me? Leaving her dorm I was all but in tears... holding it back so Britt's Resident Advisor (who had to escort me through the dorm) didn't see me tearing up. It is hard for me to get over the fact that was the last time I will see Britt for months!

I found myself a little behind for checking out of my suite (plus check-out is hours earlier then my bus leaves. So on the way back to my suite I stopped by the main office to see if I could check out a little late... they checked to see when the next reservation is due to arrive and then told me they could give me to 12! an extra 2 hours!

She seems to really be loving it. She made many friends.... she joined a couple clubs.... getting into her routine.... she even made me jealous and went on a white water rafting trip with some other students there. 

No panic attacks/calls wanting to come home... no problems what so ever. Well other then the school having a problem getting the dorm room phones on. But that isn't just her. Or a problem with her for that matter.

So seems like everything is going real good.

Good news - especially the rafting!

We've got one back at Uni already and I'll be taking the other one back to Oxford on Saturday for her fifth(!) year.
