Guilford is Back

A Guilford has begun: ...!

I was not tired when I was walking from the Pines to Shore but I knew as soon as I sat down I would realize how tired and pooped I really am - accurate :) Life is good.
Today I saw and excited greeted: Liz, Noah, Luq, Addy, Ajiah, Ben, John Madden, Moira, Samantha, Julia Beveridge, Adam Fergunson, Lucas, Oliver, Nate, Billy (Millman), Ben Evans, Marina, Faith Gaines, Lee, Cara, Molly (!), Vince (as I do most times we are reunited) and many others. The Guilford community is back. Guilford is back :) Less in an anxious way and now more so in an excited way, I am really looking forward to when classes begin.
My eyes saw a lot today. My nose had variety. My ears were forever being filled. I felt good.
Had a quick picnic in the grass outside of Shore today with Alanna, Katie, Eleanor, and Vince just at the end of peppers, carrots, crackers, peanut butter, and mostly frozen hummus (if you push stuff in the back of the fridge in Shore it freezes.. good to know!).
I felt very productive today while during my freetime from orientation stuff (3-8) I got off campus and was able to do two time (ish) sensitive errands: REI (exchanged my tent fly. Who is a super fly?!) and a thrift store for a fish tank. I also made bread in the kitchen of Shore which turned into a great, healthy, simple, cheap, exciting dinner with Kiernan of beans and rice with a veggie stir fry (he provided the celery, the carrotts were from the 5 lb bag I bought from Teeter my first night back, peppers were the ones I saved from being thrown out at the end of an orientation even that included food - at one point I had 17 beautiful farm grown peppers!), salt, and soy sauce. It was good. All of it.
There are still folks I need to be reunited with: Gabe, ...hm - maybe it is just Gabe. I am excited to see him.
Tomorrow is the last day of having a specific top I need to wear. Todays was neon pink and tomorrows is super bright orange. I am glad I did orientation, very glad!
So many good little moments in my life: they just keep happening.
I need to sleep. Glad I am tired~
