College: Week One


As part of the freshman orientation to campus, the students are taken to the football stadium and pose for a big class picture in the shape of an I which the university posted on Facebook. Mistakenly, I thought they did this on the Friday after B arrived and that he missed it, but they did it Saturday night. Glad he knows the schedule. Anyway, he said, he is in the picture. Yay. His description of where he is, "In the middle section of the I there is a woman with pigtails that is being held up by a man, I'm to the left of those two." I can't find him.


And E has settled into her apartment. Here she is with her roommate at the Champaign Corn Fest the weekend before classes began.


Here's a picture of gnocchi E made for her dinner Sunday night. It was "OK." I take that to mean it wasn't so good. Perhaps she needs to find a different recipe.


She packed this bento box for lunch on her first day of classes.


And she won this jar of pepperoncini for answering a question about the syllabus in her vegetable garden class (yes, it's a real thing, and yes, she's taking it). And B called! He's settling in and sounded happy. He'd like us to bring him a blanket that doesn't have cat hair on it. Not sure we have one of those.
