MOVING IN Did you ever notice how it almost always rains when you're trying to move in? Three out of four years here I had to drive to school in a dull, dreary downpour. As if it wasn't bad enough coming back to school after a summer of beaches, picnics, fresh tomatoes, and moonlit nights skinny dipping in the lake. After that I want to drive back in the rain? And how am I suppose to get my 10 boxes. 3 suitcases. 2 pillows, and a TV into the dorm before they're soaking v et? What do I look like. Bionic Woman? (Unfortunately not). With me it's an effort. Funny how none of my friends ever dropped in until I got the last box out of the elevator and down the hall. Did it rain on September 7. 1976. Who knows? I can't remember. Once you've been here a few years, all the years blend together, and you can't remember what year you flunked chemistry, what year you went out with that boy girl on the Hill, or what year it DIDN'T rain on moving in day. Hey. but these few days of the semester would be the best of the year. First, you got to hug all the friends you didn't see all summer; second, you got to tell them a few juicy, exotic stories about what you did on those warm summer nights. Of course, after they convulsed with laughter, you had to tell them the truth. (But not the whole truth. Never let on you actually watched a rerun of Donny and Marie ) Once you're back to school you have to adjust to the lines, the cafeteria food, and the lines. First day back I always discovered that all the praying and wishing I’d done all summer hadn't paid off. It was the same cafeteria food, and once again I was on a strict diet of peanut butter and jelly toast. The lines were another thing. At home you just don't appreciate the simple gesture of walking into the kitchen and sitting down to eat without the barrier of 50 bodies between you and the food. You also don't appreciate eating breakfast in your bathrobe. September, and we re back again. New faces, old faces. Same old problems as last year and the year before. First there's books to buy. They cost a fortune unless you're real tricky and take only the composition courses that don't require texts. (If you can't write a simple sentence, however, you should just buy the books.) The second problem that never changes is Add and Drop (more appropriately called. Chase and Beg). It was even more fun this year because the Registrar's computer screwed up and a lot of kids came back to school with only two courses. Funny, how no one's ever in their office the Friday before A D closes, when you finally decide to take Pol 12. Period 6. If you're lucky, the secretary will forge the signature (or at least disavow any knowledge of the fact YOU forged it.) The first week isn't entirely one of frustration. Because you have no tests to think about, you can truck on down to Pat's or the Salty Dog for a few quick thirst quenchers. Not a bad life, huh? As long as school doesn't interfere with our first priorities (TV and Beer) we can take the next nine months.
