Here's what Hanna had to say about Oliver's first day of college!
"One down- two to go! The update in the Vazquez family is Oliver is now a freshman at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. The emotions at home before he left were mixed. We were all excited the drive him to college to start this new chapter but sad that he wasn't going to be here anymore. The move-in went well, but it was a 100-degree day. The dorms have no AC, so the little fan we had bought did little to cool the room on the 5th floor! We slept without AC that night, too, and the dog was at a dog sitter wondering what was going on. That night the 5 of us were lying awake unable to sleep, reflecting on the day's events.
Oliver has been there for 2 weeks, and thankfully the weather has cooled off, so he is more comfortable in the dorm. His 3 roommates are all fun, and it seems like they have become friends. The cafeteria food is not as good as Mom and Dad's cooking, but he's not losing any weight yet. Oliver says homesick feeling comes and goes but is getting better. The dinner table still feels empty as we set the table to 4 and not 5, but the grocery bill will be less! Good Luck, Oliver. See you at Thanksgiving."
