Anybody getting ashes tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the start of Lent, which means I have to wear an ash on my forehead all day tomorrow. I am not a baby, but I am worried that I might draw a few stares, especially since I am going to a large, liberal, public school. This is only my freshman year, and this was never a problem in high school, since I was allowed to stay home all day because of religious reasons. I know I won’t be the only one wearing an ash on my forehead, but I still don’t know what to expect. Maybe if I had actually gotten involved in some religious groups i wouldn’t be so worried. Should I wear a baseball cap all day or am I just a whiny baby?
