NSO - "North," said Oscar

Actually, NSO is New Student Orientation, and we were quite involved in it yesterday. The attire of the day was business professional, and it was pleasantly warm in the City today. However, pleasant quickly became "suffocating." We were fortunately in the CUNY Graduate Center, a conveniently placed building around the corner from ESB, that included an auditorium. New students, parents, faculty, and student leaders were in attendance.
The morning lecture was 9 to 11, then we had a little discussion about the house system, and I ate lunch with Dad, Matt & family, and some of the Lewis leadership. It was good to hear their vision for the house this year.
At 2 PM, there was an information fair in the Lower Lobby of ESB - the only productive thing I did was get my network access and email configured. Then I hung out for an hour, met another admission guy, and headed back to the room.
Met back with the Lewis guys at the Lounge for House pictures and a night out on the town - went to Lombardi's just north of Little Italy for some brick-oven-baked pizza - excellent! Our president, Dustin Pope, gave us a little pep talk, and then I talked to David Lapp, our scholar, on the way back. It was fun.
Later in the evening, some girls from SBA (Susan B Anthony) came by to invite us to a rooftop worship event on the roof at 10 PM - went up, Matthias Clock played the guitar (excellent!) and we sang for about 45 minutes. Then more people came up and the group decayed. Ended up going to bed around 12:30 again. Big day, and bed was delightful. Tomorrow will be even better.
