Oh my goodness gracious--Ilana is off to college (she starts orientation in the morning). I remember going off to school--my father told me about being dropped off at college and what a sick feeling he had. I was waiting and waiting for that feeling to come and it never came.

I remember the graffiti dance and sitting in tons of circles and everyone asking you your name, where you were from and your major (over and over and over). I remember "looking to my left and looking to my right" and being really scared by what I saw.

Good luck, Ilana!
