Hello....

When Kitty showed me how to work this (I've got to go thank her) she said that everyone else could see it, so I suppose it's more the sort of journal that explorers and such like keep for other people to read about what they see. Although, of course, you're all already here.

Well, hello. I'm Rahne Sinclair, as I suppose you can all tell, and I'll try my best here, I promise.

Although when Professor Braddock and Kitty and... Kurt came to get me from the airport, I wasn't very nice to him. I'm still very sorry about that.

I hope coming to get me wasn't very much trouble otherwise; I didn't mean to take as long as I did, though I was very glad to stop for lunch. (It was more of an early dinner to me, but anyhow, 'twas very good.)

The room they've put me in is very nice; Kitty said they'd just had to make a lot of space since more students will be coming. There are boys' rooms on either side of me, and that's a wee bit strange, but they're quite nice. At least, Kurt was very nice about everything and Sam seemed friendly when Kitty and I passed him. She said the other was for younger ones but I've not seen them yet.

We can do laundry and a wee bit of cooking up here -- not real cooking, but little things. I like that. (There were some dishes in the sink. I washed them, because I was afraid someone might have forgot and they might start to smell, since Kitty said everyone was very busy just now. I only put them on towels, though, because I didn't know where they belonged, and there isn't much space until they're away. I hope nobody minds it.)

Hey Rahne! I'm Terry, I live on the other side of the floor ;-) Pleased to meet you. I'm sure we'll bump into each other really soon, it's always quite busy on our floor.

Thanks for doing those dishes - we do try to keep everything clean ::cough::, but of course the younger ones forget stuff like that from time to time.

Might be they'd just been put in to soak, but Kitty did say everything had been unsettled lately. I thought it couldn't do any harm.

Pleased to meet you too. So to speak.

Hi, Rahne! I'm Jamie. I just got here myself Sunday night--isn't it great? I checked the room assignments and we're pretty much on opposite ends of the floor, but wander on over whenever you feel like it.

I haven't met Kurt yet but Sam's a great guy, really friendly. I'm sure you'll get along fine.

Hey--we're having a barbecue this weekend, I'm helping grill. You should come. I mean, probably you'll have met everybody by then, but it'll still be a good time. Menu looks like it'll be pretty heavily slanted toward beef, but there'll be salad and things too.

Kitty told me about the barbecue. You must be the one she said was cooking.

*grins shyly* Beef is good. Very good.

I'm one of 'em, yeah. Sam's grilling too, and Piotr's making kebabs, and Kitty's baking cookies . . . let's see. Terry's making fruit salad, Ms. Braddock is doing regular salad and smoked salmon, I think, and somebody's doing fries. Bring your stomach. :)

Beef is good, huh? Well, I'll put you down for a really big hamburger then. :) Anything you like in the way of toppings?

Toppings! I knew I was forgetting something...

We'll need lettuce, tomatoes, onions, catsup, mustard, pickles, relish... what else?

That's all I can think of, but I just usually dump ketchup on mine.

I tend to go for straight tomatos, but some people like to be all fancy and we ought to give them the chance... *g*

Mayonnaise?

I think that's everything. One of my friends in St. Louis likes to put peppers on, but she's kind of crazy anyway.

Can we have real yellow mustard and not that weird gray stuff? And buns with none of those strange seeds? And I'm kind of picky, so maybe you shouldn't take my advice about BBQ-ing.

Bring your stomach.

It's attached.

...I hope it'll be staying that way.

Thank you very much. I like most things I've had with meat, or not anything, so it won't matter very much.

Is there anything I can do to help? I haven't any supplies, but I could... clean up, maybe.

Don't see why it won't unless you eat too much. :)

I don't know how they handle cleaning up here, but at home pretty much everybody pitches in. As big a deal as this looks like it's gonna be, the more help the merrier. Thanks for offering.

Well... it has been a very odd few days.

Yeah, I think it has for everybody. All those headaches and everything--that's when my parents decided it might be a good idea for me to come here.

I'm from Kansas, by the way. How about you?

I'm from Kinross-shire -- one of the eastern counties in Scotland.

And I'd not even realized I was a mutant until the headaches.

Scotland, cool! Like Sean Connery. I think.

Ouch. That must've been a heck of a way to find out. I've known for about three years now. How're you holding up?

Better than at first.

Howdy, Rahne! It was great meeting you. Awful glad you made it and seem to be settling in good. :)

Any problems, questions, whatever, I'm here! And I'll come show you where the kitchen stuff goes if you haven't been shown yet...

Thank you, and that would help a lot.

I think I saw you walking around the halls. My name's Ev and my room's pretty close to yours. I can help with the dishes next time if you want. Some of the kids here are really messy.

Sam's really nice. Lots of people here are. Are you coming to the BBQ?

Thank you. It was no trouble though -- I was glad of a bit to do just then.

I'll be coming, yes. It sounds good.

Still, if you need help, let me know. I kind of need something to do too, and I don't want to stay in my room all the time. One of my roommates is kind of mean.

Thanks. :)

It is a bit odd arriving at a school just in time for exams. I heard something about summer courses, I think. We might be busy enough quite soon; maybe I can learn my way around by then.

I'm sorry you're having trouble with your roommate....
