Day 372

Campus was invaded today by several hundred students. I knew they would come back, but I didn't realize how different campus would be with this many people wandering around. It's kind of overwhelming. It was almost nice with just 30 students on campus. I woke up this morning to loud noises and talking from the room next door where someone was moving in. While it is great to see people, the silence will be missed!

About that "crisis" last night. That student was never even coming. He wasn't supposed to fill out an arrival form. All that scramble was for nothing! We (I) learned a lot about ordering lunch meat for large groups. Turkey gets eaten more than ham or roast beef. Also, people tend to eat 2-3 sandwiches and what Walmart says will feed 12-15 really only feeds 6-7. We had enough food for lunch, but that can't happen again.

I left check in early to help two new girls on my floor move in. One had mom, dad, sis, boyfriend (not brother!) and grandpa with her, so I loaned them tools while I helped the other girl get things figured out. I tried not to suffocate her but not really leave her to figure out stuff by herself. I think I balanced it well. As you probably know, I usually smother people when I first meet them...

Jenneth was in town this evening, so I took her with me to feed the puppy dogs. It was good to catch up. I can't believe she is leaving for Costa Rica in less that 36 hours! I guess that is what Facebook is for. I should probably sleep since I am helping move Abbs in tomorrow bright and early!
