Aww man I miss the excitement and fun of college dorms. Everyone being new at once. All the possibility!
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Always Anti-fascist!
Didn't really get to have. But I still know what you mean. Still kind of think I should be starting some big new stuff in September, even if it's been a long time.

Punishingly Intricate
I’m so glad EM is part of Matilda’s life!

She's really been like a close Aunt or exceptionally good Godmother to Matilda.
Matilda started doing sleepovers with EM when Matilda was still in diapers.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Matilda was very excited and happy
That's good to hear. I'm fascinated that they have movers deliver the bins to the room. When I've seen the big bins/hampers at campuses around here it's always looked like students & parents were doing all of the vehicle to dorm transporting.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yay for Matilda! That all-brand-newness of freshman year in a dorm is so exciting.
First day of WorldCon was fun except for the part where the registration line was nearly two hours--apparently they'd had some technical difficulties early on and by the time everything was running smoothly the line was a monster that took over the whole lobby. But I got lots of compliments on my dinosaur dress, and I'm happy to report that Martha Wells is currently working on another Murderbot book.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Move in day is one of my fondest memories.
Yay Matilda!
I too feel like I should start something new each Aug/Sept, much more than at New Years.
