Fighting Scots

We are back home from taking Zach to OVU. (http://www.ovu.edu/ - If you look at Move In Day, you will see Stan in the pictures. Tan shirt moving a TV.)

My child almost didn't make it here. I rode with him up on the 6 hour trip. 1. We couldn't run the air conditioner because he didn't want to burn up HIS gas. Hot Mom. 2. I almost tossed his phone out of the truck several times. He didn't get the "It is illegal for you to text or talk on the phone when you are driving." 3. We played Punchbuggy on the way up. 19 - 3. (I am the 3).

We made it up late Friday night. Move in day started at 9:00 AM. What seemed like a ton of stuff (we made a huge pile before we loaded up), didn't seem like enough stuff when we unpacked it. Zach claimed the bear blanket when it made it to my house for Mom, so he is using this for a bedspread/blanket. Mom had a small TV in the other bedroom that also made the trip. (But when we hooked it up, it wouldn't change channels w/out a cable box - One of the many trips to Walmart for a TV.) 8 million pairs of underwear. I will probably be sending a care package out this week for whatever we forgot. His dorm room has Cable TV, wireless access, a shared phone w/voicemail, air conditioning and a small fridge. [I could live here.]

We had a cookout Saturday night, and we actually sat with the Dean of Students. I cried all over her and Zach's coach.

There are a ton of things around Zach. McDonalds, Old Navy, Walmart and a huge mall down the hill, so worse case, I will send him shopping if he needs something.

Zach's address:
Zachary Boraski
Mail Box 445 (Updated 8/26/08)
Ohio Valley University
1 Campus View Drive
Vienna, WV 26105

He kept his old email address: bengalboy2418@hotmail.com

They will be playing a small number of games this fall. We don't have a schedule at this point. I will let you know when they post the team pictures/biographies up on the OVU site. I need to take the film to get developed and then I will post a few pictures of the weekend.
