Ok so I'm here, snowy Vermont. It is currently absolutely dumping snow on campus, thick and intense, mountains totally obscured.
I'm doing alright so far, although not looking forward to saying goodbye to my mom today. Orientation is good, the first night we had a square dance which was hilarious, and then a talent/un-talent/kareoke last night, after which Erin (roommate) and I came back to our room with a couple people, hung out, they left and we were just going "um, what to do?" when like eight people descend on our quad with a guitar singing that "step back from that ledge my friend" song. It was hilarious. Later I made snow cones with some kids, which consisted of getting cups full of snow and putting sugar on it. I don't really recommend the recipe...
Erin continues to be great. She sleeps in a long cotton nightgown.
