email for our new contact info

When I read this this morning, I was really concerned that I wouldn't be able to help my kids with their homework someday, because I'd never be able to remember that there may now be 10 planets. Then they said that they've been calling it Xena informally, and I realized I would have no problem remembering it.

Now that I have that out of the way, we're in Oberlin. We survived our three-day-long, drawn out road trip. We've moved in, although our stuff won't be here for a few more days. I have to admit that this place is quite a bit grungier than I remember it being, but it could be a whole lot worse. The biggest problem is that we're not allowed to remove any furniture, and what the hell are we supposed to do with two beds, amongst other things?

It's really odd being back here. The things that have changed, like the location of the ResLife office and the faces of most of the students, are freaking me out. The things that have remained the same, like EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE ENTIRE COLLEGE AND TOWN are also freaking me out. I never thought I'd be back here to live, especially living in a residence hall, especially one that I lived in before. If we open the door to hallway in our bedroom, we're looking directly at my old room. Very surreal.

And just like when I lived here last, no matter how much sleep I get, I'm still tired. I'm going to hope that has to do with what a busy week we've had and nothing else.
