Had orientation for college on Monday and had to sit in a gym. Luckily, I was somewhat accommodated and they let me stay outside until it actually began (the announcer was rallying up the students before hand) and I got to leave a little before it ended to avoid the cheering as they called each major. It was such a long and loud day but so far i'm feeling okay! 

I never know how to congratulate someone on these big occasions. So lest just go with FUCK TINNITUS!
But seriously. Hope your coping reasonably well. Big Hugs!
