Francie will spend her first night in the dorm tonight. Her room is very small, but she has her own separate bathroom. There is no heat; she will be cold tonight; but the school provided 2 heavy blankets in addition to what we brought. There are only a few “new” students, but she met 2 girls, one of whom will be there tonight as well (she made the trip from San Francisco on her own). The other girl will stay with her parents which Francie could have chosen, but I think she is ready to get this underway.

Jim and I will be at the school for a couple hours in the morning for part of an orientation program; then we begin the long trip home.
