Moving in

I arrived at the dorm today.  I don't have all my belongings yet, so my surroundings are a little spare.  At least I have my sheep!

I'm absolutely in love with my new room, with the view of the river, the breeze from the window, the funny raw concrete wall, the little nook for the desk, and all my lovely space and air.

Here, like this, on the first day, I can forget how totally brutalizing weeks and weeks of sleep deprivation and failures piled on failures can be and just think about how excited and glad and lucky I am to be here.

This year is going to be better!
