Memoir Monday, Jan 2, 1968

 I came back to the still-heavy remains of that colossal storm. The train got in about 5:00 am.  Weary students staggered out oif our seats. grabbed luggage and stumbled down to campus through the open topped snow-tunnel down to the dorm. I woke Carol Ann, the head resident, to let me in and rested breofly but had to make a class at 9:00.  We called Carol Ann the Dorm Big Sister rahter than Dorm Mother since she was little older than most of us and possibly younger than me!

It seems like I've been gone for months.Later I wrote a litle bit from the library.  I had collected my geaet accumulation of mail although none of it too spetacular. I'll get my package after lunch when I go to change my sheets.  The sky is lead gray --it could nearly be the day we left, I mean the last day of classes. I am tired and light headed from so little food for twenty four hours, but I guess I can endure two more hours until lunch time. Then I'd better get my shipped stuff, change sheets, get my package etc. And then I think I will sleep!! It is scarcely cheerful weather. Wonder if it is till foggy over in Sacramento? I am glad to be back but it is going to be lonely. I'll have to follow everyone's good advice and go boyfrirend hunting... 

Actually that last was almost a bad joke since I had seen so few guys on campus that  appealed to me at all. However, little did I know at this point how things might soon change rather abruptly although it was not college boys (were there really any college men?) but that basically worked better for me anyway. However my relatives would probably have been appalled or at least disapproving.  I have to laugh at that and I actually did a bit then. I knew the parents would not have approved!  But that was almost the cherry on my sundae!

Not many photos but here is what Campbell Hall looked like much of the time for a number of weeks!. It was a pretty building and nice setting, as teh scond photo shows.  I was always glad I opted for the Honor Dorm my second year. After that,  it was off campus, a tale for later.
