Oh poor girl - at least my daughter's halls of residence are lovely - only a year old and really nice. Son's house is a slum though. Hope your girl makes some good friends in class soon - they're probably all as nervous as each other - although they all seem to have enormous confidence compared to our youth don't they?
Our youngster's fine thanks - he's the weirdest looking thing you've ever seen, I took a photo of him the other day and he looked for all the world like a tiny moose with no antlers. Go figure. Glad your shepherd's ok now.
