So I'm here at school and I haven't been back for quite twenty-four hours yet. The room is set, everything is unpacked and I have not yet settled in to disorganization.

I've seen some freshmen and been dorm hoping to every dorm but a main freshmen dorm to see my friends. It's good to be back. I had some very nice moments with friends yesterday that made it feel as though the summer months never even happened.

Already this morning I have experienced the rowdy revelry of the senior's champagne breakfast (I forgot how LOUD it is and I was tired). The freshies have all forgotten to grab their signs which means there will be much singing on the dining hall table tonight. They have already been introduced to what is the crazy loud, enthusiastic and colorful Oddline and have circled up for the first time.

It doesn't feel quite the same though. I feel as if a bit of spirit is gone this year. I miss last year's seniors....a lot. I wish they were here again. It is so strange.

I don't have class today but I do have some errands to run. I'm just taking a momentary morning break. Also my left knee decided to crap out on me quite nasty last night so by the time the clock reached ten or eleven I was beat tired and in bed reading The Painted Man. I slept pretty deeply but as I was sleeping I thought I heard someone whisper my name. It was creepy but I discounted it as dreaming. Still, it was pretty creepy because I almost woke up as my brain registered it was in reality. Ooooky!

Anyway just letting y'all know I am back at my other home and quite happy. There is a peace in my bones.

:-)
Peace.
