I just got back from orientation at Delaware aka Delaworld 101.  After taking a stupid math test (I passed it though, so I'm not too bitter) we got to talk with some of the education professors, meet our advisor, schedule classes, get our UD ID card, play Bhingo aka Blue Hen bingo, and just meet lots of cool people in general.  The best part would have to be that while meeting all of those new people I realized that I could look at them eye to eye since they were as short as me!!  Shocking, I know.  I think I might have officially found my calling as an elementary school teacher since everyone else wants to be taller than the kids they teach as well.  And speaking of why UD is for me (ooh that rhymes!)  my birthday was written on a chalkboard in one of the class rooms.  Apparently some weekly deadline is 10/23.  Needless to say, I got really excited despite the fact that it is a deadline for something.  Also, I think the school has the same bizarre since of humor as me since everything they talk about is a play on words (hence, Bhingo, UD ID, the mascot You Dee, and Delaworld 101).  Anyway, I'm definitely very excited for next year.  I'm finally able to see myself living there, which of course is a definite plus.  O yeah, I also got a really cool hoodie with You Dee (our blue hen mascot, for anyone who doesn't know) on it.  I can't wait to wear it there next year. 

This past weekend has pretty much been grad party central.  It's been a blast.  I feel like I get to see everyone without going to school and doing work.  It can't get much better than that.  

Then I think about why we are having all these parties.  Everyone gets close just so that we can miss each other more before we leave.  It's kinda sad when you think about it that way, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  In fact, I think we should do this next summer and every summer after that.  I'm completely serious, reunion parties all the way.
