Hypo is a little stressed out. She is being very challenged academically, for the first time in her life. She has realized she is not at the top of the curve. She is also getting pretty concerned about money. The "work study" on her financial package is not Federal Work Study, but Barnard College Job, which has lesser priority. She is having trouble finding a job.
She has joined the Columbia University Marching Band (CUMB), whose tag line is "It's the cleverest band in the world". They are a scramble band which is known for its politically incorrect voice overs during performances.. SNL style, really. They run into formations and some members play miscellaneous instruments like trash cans, pots, spoons, etc. Its really laid back and informal and she is having fun with that.
I read somewhere that the first week in October is when first year college students have a mini meltdown so it is a good time to send a care package. She has asked me to send shampoo, conditioner, easy mac and velveeta mac n cheese. I'm also going to send a dress that came with a flaw in it but I've fixed it. I picked her up a button that says "Music is my life" at the band competition Saturday. I'm making some mini loafs of zucchini bread to send too. I figure she can toss a couple in her baby freezer for another week.
