Macy moves to MCAD!!

A new chapter began in Macy's life.  When she realized AI wasn't where she wanted to be we scheduled a visit to MCAD and she fell in love.  Actually she fell in love once she saw the studios with the natural lighting.  And the artifical lighting in the classrooms that mimiced natural lighting.  Whatever it was, it was plain to see that it was love at first sight.  The last week of August 2012 was move in time and we loaded up the van and her little blue grandma car and headed out.  Moving in was a good experience.  We got to park on the sidwalk in front of the apartment building and we were the third to arrive.  The fourth roommate was last but that was ok.  Her other two roommate's parents were wonderful and helped carry really heavy totes to the apartment.  Of course there was a farming connection with one set of parents and low and behold the other parent works with two of my classmates.  :-)  It felt a little like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.  There's always a connection out there!!  Orientation was the next day and was very well organized with lots of good info for parents and students alike.  Great food, great upperclassmen who did a fabulous job of making you feel comfortable about leaving your little girl with them.  Course we'd been there done that before so there were fewer tears this time around.  Still lots of jitters for Macy because the transfer student has the advantage of having left home before but now you're in a new place.  Again.  Deep breath.  You'll be fine.
