ND Orientation

Notre Dame has a new student orientation and for some of the activities the families are invited, so we went over to South Bend to see what to expect. Not that it matters at this point because our house still hasn't sold, so we are staying and Matt will be commuting back and forth. So he will go to school during the week and come home on the weekend. He "gets" to stay in a old nunnery that has been converted into dorm rooms for graduate students...and that is exactly what they are....his room is 2 beds, a desk, and a sink and he has to walk down the hall to the community bathroom---gross---thank goodness for flip-flops. Anyways, on family day of the orientation we were able to go down to the ND football locker room and then get to go out onto the field. We got to have lunch in the VIP room/sky box, which the kids though was pretty cool.

The mural on the library has been nicknamed "Touchdown Jesus" because it can bee seen from the stadium inbetween the goalpost.
