The First Day

The First Day
Posted By: Alana Toolie on September 11, 2005


Well my first day at Eastern Illinois University is tomorrow. Eastern is very big compared to Dillard but tomorrow is my first day and I'm looking forward to it. There are eight students from Dillarfd here. Seven Girls and one boy. They have been soooooooooo good to us, supplying everything that we need in order to have a successful and comfortable semester. As of now, I do not know if I'm going back to Dillard, but I'm a Dillardite for life.
