College Road Trip Post #3

Arrived at College Town yesterday just fine.  Found our way to the necessary buildings without any help from staff or students (which annoyed me . . . but oh well).  Got The Kid checked in, stocked up at Wal Mart and moved into her room. 

Met the roommate and her parents, and they (the kids) seem to be getting along fabulously so far.  She's on the third floor and suitemates include people from MT, CO and OR.  I thought that maybe they were on the third floor because they were used to climbing hills/mountains.

We ate dinner at a decent Chinese buffet place, then it was back to the college for a keynote address by Dr. Kimberly Frazier from Auburn University.  She threw a lot of information at the students, and at the end of her talk, I asked The Kid, "What's one thing you took away from that?"

"Time management."

That's a good sign.

After that, the parents went back to their hotels and the kids stayed at the college meeting with their respective orientation leaders.

We've got one more full day here with a full schedule ahead of us.  Staff & faculty introductions, formal orientation, a slew of required sessions for the students, language placement, auditions and whatnot.

She's worried about time management.  She has to make her way through the schedule and get this all figured out today.

She's going to be okay . . . right?
