Kisha goes to College

Well this one will have to come to you in several parts. And I guess this is as good as any spot to begin. The junk. Not all of this is Kisha's, some of what you see was already in our garage, which is a whole nother story in itself. But take what you see here and multiply it by three and that might be as much stuff as she ended up taking between my mother's Expedition and her mother's friends Tahoe. Yes, it was a lot of stuff! And I loaded a lot of it by myself the night before. We arrived on campus bright and early at 9 AM. The campus sorors were on hand to help unload the truck and a local church took everything up to the room. Kisha and I started unpacking while Rodney parked the car. Then he made two trips to the store for various necessities. The cleaning stuff was three hours behind us in her mother's load. That's a whole nother story also.


Kisha's room had the best view ever of the parking lot!

Once Daddy got settled from his hour long trips to the Target store, he proved to be very helpful. Eventually Her mother and the friend showed up and they waited an additional hour for a trolley to load those items up in the parking lot a bring them around to the front door.

Shortly after they got in the room and I waded through what I had just gotten control of, the fire alarm went off. And no it was not a false alarm. Eventually we smelled the smoke and an RA had us evacuate. Shortly there after the fire trucks and emergency vehicles arrived.

Her mother and the friend decided they were hungry (I guess from all the sitting and waiting and watching) and decided to go get food. Markisha disappeared with some friends to the student union. Rodney and I waited in the hot sun for the building not to burn up with all of her stuff in it. He took pictures - I was annoyed, but not by the fire.


They never told us what had happened, but eventually they let us back in the building. We had to wait another 20 minutes for Markisha to show up with the key. And that was the first 4-6 hours I spent at the dorm. On the next blog I'll show you the room.
