At this hour Scott is attending the first hour of a two day orientation at The University Of Texas At Dallas. Things have changed a lot since I went to school there. Not only has the campus dramatically expanded, but now it takes two days to orientate the Freshman students. Back in my day you just went around to various offices getting signatures, registered and got on with it.
The class of 2016 will spend all day on Campus today before concluding with some sort of dinner tonight. Then tomorrow it is supposed to be a little bit shorter day with more things leading up to finally registering for classes. Scott's college experience has begun and I hope it is much smoother than my own.

How very exciting this must be for all of you. I know Scott will do well and make you even more proud of him than you already are. Please give him a Waytago for me.
Will do, Earl and thank you.
I know you'll do well academically, Scott, but have fun, too. Just not too much fun.
Today is day two and later today he will be on campus meeting with an academic advisor and trying to make his schedule work. Something we spent five hours with last night and found that a lot of stuff has already been filled and what is open conflicts with other things.
During the course of yesterday as I understand it, they received numerous lectures on how to stay safe on campus and the consequences of having way too much fun. Apparently they went into great detail on various things in ways that just boggle the mind.
