<p>My dd called a bit ago–waiting for her plane from Bradley. She’s headed to Detroit and then on to Rome for two weeks with Hillsdale College. She sounded tired, but she loved it. They didn’t pick them up from Bradley 'til very late the first day, so they missed some of the intro stuff. So…they got yelled at a lot for not knowing stuff the next day, but they survived. Her recommendation to anyone that hasn’t gone yet–don’t forget the tall “motivated” socks and bring gray AND blue t-shirts. She only brought gray so had to borrow. Her roomie had not downloaded the packing list so was missing all sorts of things. She sprained her ankle just as she was leaving our house, but did okay with it for a few days. Then it swelled quite a bit, so is now in a brace. It will be a nuisance going through international security… They did NOT have a chance to take the PAE (or whatever it’s called now)–that was a disappointment. All in all, she can see herself there, so I guess the trip was a big success!</p>
