Fall break has begun! Reed campus was more silent this weekend than I have ever seen it. Of course, I went out these past few nights, so I haven’t been around any of the wild parties. If such things exist. I’d rather sleep, frankly.
But at any rate, our week-long vacation has started. It’s going to be full of roleplaying campaigns, Halloween costume making, home-cooking, and sleeping (lots). I would expect most college students go to Hawaii or Cancún, or something silly like that (not that those areas are silly), but I note that about half of campus went home for the week and the other half stayed here. (This is an approximation by how many people have stayed in the dorms I hang out in). I think maybe I’m influenced by the old world of high school.
What do Reedies do on vacation? Probably nothing more than what I’ve already described. The cafeteria keeps the weirdest hours. My classes barely gave me any homework. It is horribly cold out, but my parents sent me yet more warm clothes, which is likely the best thing that’s happened so far. Seriously, you can’t go wrong by sending your children more clothing suitable to their view on the weather they’ve moved into.

Can agree on the clothes.. it’s the first time in my life I’ve ever thought about it, or been in a position that I’ve actually felt like I need more
(not because I never changed at home, I’m just not into fashion and when you’re not used to needing more than one layer… :D)
