Today was the day. Last night Lucie and Ashleigh and Nathan and Elliott packed up Ashleigh and got her stuff loaded in two cars. (I made supper and stayed out of the way.) All 5 of us headed down a little after 9 AM. Great weather - sunny and windy. It is just over an hour ride (1 hour and 12 minutes to be exact) and we got there fine. Today they let the Honors Program Freshmen move in first so there were hardly any people there. Got everything up to her 4th floor room in just two trips and were all unpacked by noon. The school bought us pizza for lunch and then we headed out to pick up some odds and ends and books. I did all of the IT stuff - got her online and downloaded Office 2010 and so forth. She has one roommate and two suite-mates - they live in another adjoining room. All four share a bathroom, two sinks, shower, fridge, microwave, phone, etc. Pretty nice. Ashleigh has been emailing the other girls so they sort of knew each other. This dorm is brand new - Ashleigh and the others are the first to live in it. Around 4 they fed us again (hors d' oeuvres) and at 6 Ashleigh had an introductory meeting with some of her instructors. We packed up and left at 5:45 PM so she could go to her meeting. Tomorrow the other freshmen move in. Ashleigh has a full day of a ropes course and other get-to-know-you team building things. Pretty hard to pull away but fortunately she is not far away and we will see her often. When we got home, one of her school books arrived in the mail - I wanted to go back and bring it to her!
