<p>I just got a phone call from the Alumni Association at Michigan and was told that they're holding a picnic in my town for those that were admitted (I live between an hour and 1.5 hours from Ann Arbor, too). It's a week from Thursday at 6:00 pm. I think that's pretty cool that they're trying so hard to help us get to know each other and feel like one community. That way, we won't feel so alone once we get there next fall. I'm excited!</p>
<p>That's pretty cool. Nothing that I know of has happened on Long Island yet.</p>
