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.

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.

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.
