<p>I dropped off my daughter yesterday at Mercersburg. She is there early for preseason soccer. I was a little weepy, but not too much. First was a health check (temperature screen, really) and then off to registration. We were greeted on the steps outside registration by our contact in admissions. She had hugs for us both. Then we met her advisor (went to same college as I did), and her soccer coach (went to same hs as I did). Our next stop was her dorm. The football team was easily recognizable in their blue t-shirts and unloaded our car in 2 minutes. They brought everything right to her room. People kept poking in to help (dorm parent, advisor, person with much needed scissors…) We unpacked, went to lunch in the dining hall and then went in our different ways. Me to a parents’ meeting and my daughter to her first practice. Her schedule is deliberately packed for the next few days to help stave off homesickness.
I left campus by 2 and headed home. Received an email last night about how wonderful it all is in her world.</p>
<p>So, how did it go for your son or daughter?</p>
