[NAGDU] Igloo anniversary

[carcione at access.net]

It's my second anniversary with Igloo!  No big deal, I know, a 2nd
anniversary, but I was so anxious 2 years ago.  I was going out of my mind
trying to get into the class I was scheduled for at TSE.  I had to have a
clean Covid test, and the place I got it about 2 weeks before class totally
failed me.  They were supposed to have the results back within 10 days, but
I didn't actually get the results for about a month, way too late.  No
results at class time!

So TSE gave me the address of the lab where they send students for testing,
which promised a very quick turn-around.  I got the address Wednesday, when
I was already supposed to be in class.  It was a ways to go, but I got there
and back.  Next morning I got the results and left a message for Admissions
around 7:00 A.M., and the admissions person called me back around 7:30 and
said someone would be coming to fetch me in about 90 minutes or so.  

So I showed up at TSE around 10:00, met my instructor, threw my stuff in my
room, and had 2 Juno walks before noon, 1 in town and the other on campus.
I ate lunch and met my classmates, went back to my room, and my instructor
brought Igloo to me a little after 1:00, though I'm not real sure of the
time.  The whole thing is a blur.  I had to ask her later to tell me again
everything she told me about Igloo when we met, because my head was in a
whirl at the time. 

But he's a wonderful match and a joy to know!  

So you see why the whole thing sticks in my mind.  It wasn't like any other
experience I've had, going to class, and I hope it's never like that again,
but it all worked out in the end.  Whew!
