The Campus Penny

Today, my oldest daughter, J,  was moving out of the house and into residence to begin university life. It's a very exciting (and nerve wracking) time for her. We loaded up the car and I mean loaded up the car. The car was so full of her stuff you couldn't see out the rear view mirror. ( I drive a CRV and the last time the cargo area was so jam packed was when the four of us drove to Cape Cod.) I double checked the house before we left and she took just about everything but the kitchen sink.

Her residence room is small - just enough room for two small beds and a couple desks. We met her roommate, who seemed very nice. I'm sure the girls will get along.

J needed to go to the neighbouring building to get some computer network cables, so off we went. When we were leaving that building (Mary Keyes), there was a 1993 penny waiting to be rescued from all the wandering first year students and their families.

Interesting fact about this 1993 penny, lying face up, is that most of the first year students moving in this long weekend were born in 1993.
