My new friends Leslie Whitaker and Ursula Bartels and I were walking to Rhoads when we met (then dean) Mary Pat McPherson on the path. She said hello to all of us and called each of us by name. We were stunned. She was and is a marvel.

Being astounded that Amy Friedman and I had a private bathroom to ourselves in Rock 36AB, a suite that no longer exists. We had our own rooms with a bathroom in the middle. Luxury!!

Asking for directions to the Student Center and someone telling me to look for the building that looked like a castle. I am from California. All the buildings looked like castles to me.

My brother drove me to freshman year because my moms were out of the country for my grandmother鈥檚 burial. He taught me that the first things to do whenever you move are 1) make your bed, 2) set up your stereo (and play music, of course), and 3) hang art (or posters) on the wall. I鈥檝e followed that advice ever since for every new home/dorm.

People playing disco music outside of Denbigh, which was to be my home for the next year. I hate disco music.
