Amen to your ETA! Me too, theta lady. Dragons and dinosaurs abounded when I went to school.
However (this should come as no surprise) I could not WAIT to go away. My dad drove me to Santa Barbara and helped me move in. My mom was the one who was all weepy and freaking out, etc. My dad was like "don't get in trouble, and if you do - call me, don't call your mother." Then off he drove and I launched into Life.
Recruitment was a blast, college was a fabulous experience (even the tough stuff) because I was on my own.
