Freshman move in day stories?

Our morning move in was just fine. We only spent an hour or so in line, but were entertained by an a cappella group and a group of jugglers. We didn’t want to burn gas, either, so we just kept shutting the engine and restarted; we also all got out of the car. It was a pain (and we probably wasted more gass than we saved!), but with the heat, it seemed the only way we could survive it!

Curbside move-in was a breeze. I can’t believe how quickly the kids descended and emptied the car, and then went on to the next. D’s in a double that had the lofted beds; they didn’t like it, so the dads moved furniture & brought them down. The previously roomy room got quite crowded! But I’m glad they did it; d’s got some kind of bug that they gave her antibiotics for, and it’s much easier for her that she doesn’t have to climb up and down. With any luck, she’ll be able to make it to class tomorrow.
