Whew! What a day! We got A moved in today. It is so hot right now.... I hope all the girls stay hydrated. She packed an umbrella in her bag and plans on using it to help with the heat. Forecast in Auburn next week are mid 90's, but heat index of over 100. I just talked with her and she sounded so excited. She met with her Pi Chi group tonight and really liked everyone in her group a lot. She said there are 15 in her group. Her leader said that they will have probably three groups that will visit the houses together. Tomorrows schedule is a killer. They meet in the arena at about 8:30, then the assembly starts at 9:00. They will begin visiting the houses at 11:00 and will go strong until about 6:30 pm. She doesn't know which houses she will see tomorrow....she will find that out in the morning.
Here is the schedule for the week - I am copying this from the Auburn site:
