Day 921 of 1000

Christian is at UCSD again today.  He likened the “recruiting event” to the freshman orientation he and Kelly attended when they started at NCSU.  The school plans a series of events that are supposed to be fun–mixers, dinners, hikes, etc.  The problem is that those kinds of things cant get to be pretty forced and phony, especially if it is with a bunch of kids whose only government/private high school followed by the typical undergraduate indoctrination.  That probably gets multiplied if you are an 18 year old teetotaler while everyone else is drinking, posturing, and trying to act grown up.  Today he is scueduled to get some one-on-one time with some professors, so hopefully it will get a lot better.  He made the comment that he is sure the school is a lot better than is being demonstrated by the artifcial circumstances of the recruiting event.

Update:  Life got dramatically better when Christian talked to the professor who is trying to recruit him.  It sounds like there is a very good much and Christian is pretty excited.  Now the decision to go to UCSD or ASU will be harder to make.
