Orientation successful!

Today I got up at FOUR-FREAKING-THIRTY to go to Introducktion. The whole thing was pretty straightforward, and now I think I could have done it alone, but I'm glad I brought a parent because they gathered them up when they sent us off to advising workshop and gave them stuff they forgot to give us. As it turns out, I have to take another science class. I decided to get that over with as soon as possible and chose Geology of National Parks, which should be interesting. I also have Old English and German. It's going to be an experience learning two languages at once, but at least they're somewhat related both to English and to one another. I don't have any classes before ten in the morning, and they're all in the same area. Three days a week I have both languages back to back.

This is basically my schedule:

Monday - Old English at noon in Deady, haul ass to German in McKenzie Hall
Tuesday - Geology at 10:00 in Chapman, break for an hour and a half, go to German in McKenzie Hall
Wednesday - see Monday
Thursday - Geology at 10:00 in Chapman, break for an hour and a half, go to German in McKenzie Hall, break for an hour, go to Geology discussion in Columbia at 3:00
Friday - See Wednesday

Also yesterday I got my student ID card! The picture is definitely not the worst I've ever had, but I might say it's the second best. My face looks a little funny and it's obvious the smile is fixed. I look a little tired, but that's not unexpected considering what time I woke up. My hair, however, looks awesome. I was a bit wired by that point because I had coffee, chai, and a sugarfree Full Throttle before 11. It was a very useful day and for the first time I feel very confident about going there. Even living there is starting to look exciting rather than intimidating. I just can't wait to meet my roommate. And as I was one of the early responders for admission, I just might get my own bathroom!
