Dana Hall.

We had to bring Lina up a few days earlier than Jenna because she is a proctor this year!  It's something she had to apply for and got picked to do in her old dorm, Johnston D.  Proctors are students who provide leadership in the dorms.  Each dorm has at least one student proctor who acts as a liaison between the House Director, House Assistant, and the students.  Proctors work together as a group, meeting weekly
throughout the year to plan activities and discuss boarding life issues.


Rob had taken the day off to go to Connecticut with Alyssa so we drove to Dana separately.  We thought we would drop Jenna off and head on our way but I ended up taking the day off as well and stayed for the parent informational events.  We must have not have realized all the stuff for parents when we dropped Lina off and Rob probably had to get to work (the end of August is not a good time for him to take off).  Besides that, I asked Jenna if she wanted me to stay around with her while she unpacked and she did...I feel awful that we didn't do it with Lina.  :(

Jenna actually wanted my help so we put her sheets on the bed and then she put her clothes away, while I put stuff on her desk and took out some of her quotes to decorate her room, etc.  It feels as if they are headed off to college, I tell ya.


There are two beds in the rooms.  Jenna's roommate's is in the right.  She is from South Korea, JinJae.  Such a sweet girl and Jenna just loves her.

The closet is to the left as you walk in and inside the closet there are two dressers and on each side of the closet are to poles for them to hang their clothes and a shelf above it to store items.







And to the right as you walk in are both desks with a cork board above them.  Jenna brought a bunch of pictures to decorate it with.


It is exciting and she was really into it.  My girls are growing up.  They were not allowed to come home for about 3 weeks...the longest stretch, but it's so all the girls can bond and get to know one another.  It was the longest 3 weeks of my life!
