I have been away from the site for a few days and want to thank everyone for their kinds words and good wishes!
Lamplighter - I caught up with your story today. Best of luck to you and your daughter. Sounds like she is having a fantastic rush!
Well, the countdown is getting closer! As I was writing my initial post, my daughter was away at an optional university orientation. I had never heard about these when I was in college, but apparently most of the major universities in this state have an optional camp type orientation that lets students get to know each other. It is actually held at a camp. Obviously no parents allowed (not that I had any desire to attend even if it were open to parents) Best decision she has made so far. She was lukewarm about the idea of going, and by the time she made up her mind to go, this date was the last one still open before rush began. Now my daughter has never been one to have trouble making friends, but the amount of new friends she made at camp is mind boggling. This whole Facebook thing is crazy. She already has a few tentative get togethers planned during move in week. One of the girls that was in her group will also be rushing, but she lives kind of far from where daughter will be, so don't know how much they'll see each other there.
We are moving her in tomorrow. Rush begins Monday. Let the games begin!
