I finally figured out how to log on to the campus computers, from which I am posting. I wrote a few posts in a notebook, which I will type and post perhaps later this evening–I will probably date them before this post. <\/p>\n
I am in Villa Maria Hall, a hall with lots of spirit. On my arrival here, there was a whole crew dressed up as pirates, to take luggage up to the rooms. I also had my picture taken with the Statue in the lobby, dressed up as a pirate. The residents of the hall call themselves the Villans, so that’s where the idea comes from. <\/p>\n
On the roof of the dorm, there is the Villa Gorilla, and the front of the building has netting all over, with a pirate ship complete with a gangplank and cannons. There even is a sunken ship on the way up to the door, the HMS Christie–there is a long running rivalry against the folks in Christie Hall, for reasons of which I am not yet aware. <\/p>\n
A long night last night, and I may stay up for a while this evening, and straighten out my room, or come down to the basement (where I am now) and post the older posts.<\/p>\n
Off to the Opening Mass now, then off to dinner with my parents, in the dining hall (AKA The Commons).<\/p>\n
