Good for you, KB.
Tara seems to be adjusting okay. Her dorm room is tight - two roommates for a room that was likely designed for 2 instead of 3, but they squeezed in an additional desk and clothes cabinet under one of the loft beds. We only met one roommate - she comes from military stock and we wonder if she's a Trump supporter. Didn't meet the other one, but she has an aunt in La Jolla where she stays sometimes. Tara took the loft bed, the small desk under that bed, and the real closet. She has a view of the ocean from her dorm room window. She has also made a tent over her loft bed with a large tapestry - very festival style. She's on the 4th floor, and there are like a dozen plus other girls in the suite, in rooms of 2 or 3, with a shared common room and bathroom. There's a common room for the whole building on the bottom floor with a minimal kitchen. She's in ERC, the college on the outskirts, which is far from the freeway, but also a walk to get to her classes.
When we left, ERC was hopping with a massive frizbee game, a bubble soccer game, and an upcoming DJ dance party. She's made friends with another student from Muir College after the freshman orientation surf trip and they went out to dinner and checked out the aquarium.
We swap texts, snapchats and such so we've heard something from her every day. I'm tasked to send her snapchats of her cat daily. She seems to be enjoying the adventure so far. This is 'week zero' where freshmen get oriented. Next week, classes start.
We'll go down in a month for Family Weekend, some UCSD promotion thing. Then she comes back for her birthday and T-day, two weekends in Nov, and then again for Dec holidaze.
