Once More, Dear Friends

Off I go again to Davis, for parent-of-transfer-students orientation. Those of you who have been playing along will remember that last time I did this, it wasn't. Orientation. This time, however, I have encouragement in the form of an email congratulations on becoming part of the extended UC Davis family, and a hope that "We'll see you at orientation."

So I'm hoping that with coffee and a map, I'll arrive on time to see them at orientation. Will report back.

An Excellent Very Long Day...and So, to Bed

Left at 6am. Met kid at UCDavis at 7:40. After registration and putting the parking permit in the car window so I didn't lose the car, we were separated: she to talk of student things, I to learn everything in the Whole Wide World about UC Davis. Excellent lunch (the food is really good). Sarcasm Girl met a number of other transfers into the English department, made friends, registered for her fall quarter classes; we walked around the beautiful campus. I was taught the Aggie Fight song (and now I am an Aggie. They told me so). I think the Kid is almost as tired as I am (she dozed and read on Amtrak up; I drove up, then drove her home before returning to San Francisco also).

Fall over now.
