D is a rising sophomore - hard to believe we’re one year in. I wanted to add my thanks to all the established Rice parents and thank them for the advice/information they gave us last year. They really helped allay fears and point us in the right direction.

It was fun and bittersweet dropping D off last year but somehow unsatisfying. She disappeared almost instantly to be (well) looked after by her O-week crew. The families weekend later that year was totally different. We could hang with D, meet her new friends, attend classes, meet profs and RAs. So much fun. I encourage all new Rice parents to make an effort to attend families weekend in late September. Don’t know if we can make it this year or not, but we will try.
