Orientation

Today was my first day of actual classes. I am glad that we are finally getting into a routine schedule. The past few days have been a mad rush of different activities and seminars preparing us for our first year in college. I have met so many people and have already made some great friends. Orientation was so much fun. From Thursday till Monday we were given a jam packed schedule of crazy events. From the beginning they told us that we should try to take advantage of every opportunity that we had, because we would appreciate it in the end, and I followed that advice as best I could, and already am grateful that I did everything. Now as crazy as it seems, class has started. I am actually a college student, somehow my mind does not want to wrap itself around this concept; just a short period ago college seemed like a far off foreign concept, yet here I am, right in the midst of it. This may be a crazy ride, but I am ready for it!

Some highlights of orientation:

• Meeting and hanging out with my JAM group

• Lutes Follies (basically this was college life explained through song and dance: hilarious!)

• Lutes at Play (a bunch of freshman running around playing some awesome get to know you games, was tons of fun)

• Block Party (an awesome band, played some awesome music, and we partied it up!)

• SOUND OFF! (each hall prepared some songs and we all got together and had a crazy hall completion. I still have all the songs randomly stuck in my head!)

• On the Road Trip (I went into Seattle and visited the International District and had some really good Japanese food)

Overall orientation was tons of fun and I met so many awesome people and I am so excited for this school year!
