Hello (hello) (hello)

Orientation is ova, homies.  It went fine.  I was being a snot about it, but it was actually pretty useful.  I met some wonderful people, including a mom!  Who is in her early thirties!  Has a one year old boy!  Married to a student finishing his PhD!  AND they just moved here from where we used to live in North Carolina.  If I wasn’t so relieved to meet her, I might’ve been creeped out.  We have a date planned.  She and I are 2 of about 5 parents in the whole class of 288.  There is a large number of frat boys and girls still seeking their M.R.S. degrees, and also a large section of really cool people who I like.  Most of them are 2 years out of undergrad, putting them 7 years younger than me, but still.  I think we’ll get along.

 Class starts tomorrow.  I just realized that the bookstore, which shuttled us through a line and handed us our required books to purchase without letting us verify we were getting the right ones – anyway, the bookstore neglected to sell me the book I’m required to bring to class tomorrow morning at 8:30 am.

Oh well.  He can’t kill me, right?
