orientation UNT

Well,I am slightly pissed and using a strange keyboard, one of those
ones that help with wrist problems, which to me me being slightly pissed is
completely strange!

Anyway, I am here,at 11.35pm attending my youngest daughter's orientation and I must admit the last is the best! They are very boring to be honest but to the new parent of a student,
full of useful information,but to the third timer, mostly a repeat of
previous years.

Emily surprised herself by completely surpassing her
fellow students in the math placement test - which is good news because
that means she doesn't have to do freshman algebra- which if I am
right, actually saves us some money!

Anyway the reason I am slightly pissed is because the campus is near a few
bars
that are actually in walking distance which is a complete novelty. Less
than $6.00 a jug for shiner which is brilliant! Actually staying the
night is a novelty as normally we only attended
the day which is important which is normally the last day which is when we
pay the fees----parting with a few thousand dollars is such sweet joy!

Anyway. its been an ok day as on the way up I actually started my latest TAST project - chevron stitch and Algerian eye stitch. Even at 8.00 am stitching was preferable to staring at the I-35!

Emily seems to be enjoying herself which is the important thing and making acquaintances
with her fellow 2011 graduates. In fact she seem to be enjoying herself
a little too much as she nearly missed us at dinner time which is the
allotted time for parents and future students to meet up. The next time
we will see her is lunchtime tomorrow.

At moment we undecided as to whether we will stay on campus tomorrow
or go into to Dallas. Unfortunately, there are no big art shows on but
I am sure there is plenty in Dallas to see.
