First Year Arrival

Yesterday the first years arrived!
It was a day full of paint paint and cheering and horn blowing and flag waving and suitcase carrying and hugging and questions and new faces. It was crazy!

I can imagine that some of the first years were more than overwhelmed by all of our enthusiasm but we were just so excited for them to arrive that we couldn't help it.

It is a strange feeling having such a familiar place filled with so many unfamiliar people.
New people in the day room. New people in the bathroom. New people in my old dorm.
But it is excited. With the first years came a renewed sense of idealism and high hopes. It is invigorating talking to them because everything is so new and exciting and I remember how I felt last year and feel completely excited all over again.

It was a day full of energy.

and horn blowing

And then bus arrived!!
Which made Bubo very excited!

And Caroline too

And soon our dayroom was full of new people saying names and countries and playing get to know you games.

A new year has begun!!
