University Adventures Begin!

Okay, so I'm moving onto my unversity campus TOMORROW! It is my freshman year, so that's why I'm freaked out/very excited.
I'm taking WAAAAAY too much stuff. But this thread is to let you all know that my return to PPT this summer was partially because it was a semi-relaxed summer. Come the school year and my first year of college I don't know what my attendance is going to look like (except for RPs, no worries there).
And the next few days are going to be madness. I'm still packing like crazy, my junk is definitely not ready to load into the car. Nevertheless, theoretically I'll still be around, I've got a trusty laptop and internet access as soon as I move in (theoretically, that is).
Since my university is on the quarter system we start late, so I've been SO impatient to go, I can't wait!
huzzah!

Ohio's public schools are on quarters, too. Do you get a six-week break between thanksgiving and new years? They do 
Freshman year generally isn't the hardest, and homesickness doesn't really become a huge deal until the second month or so - that's when it really kicks in that you aren't at camp or something. At least, that's the way it was when I went to school.
Here's a good article on dealing with homesickness, if it comes up:

The South 40 is the residence area where I went to school, at Washington University in St. Louis.
Good luck - the first week of classes can be a real shocker, but that doesn't mean it'll be hard.
