ORIENTATION. WAS. AWESOME.
I…I don’t even know what to say. I mean, I am EXHAUSTED. Like seriously. I didn't sleep last night because I was too anxious so I went on 2 hours of sleep and just got back home almost thirteen hours later. I’m pretty sure my feet are going to be in incredible amounts of pain tomorrow, but still…AWESOME.
So I walked into the place to applause which made me want to run back out but I guess they applaud for everyone when they walk in. The good thing was I already knew, like, five orientation leaders personally, so I gave them all hugs and my gay husband and I were all, “ZOMG!!!” and squeed. Then we got an into to all the staff and people along with a breakdown of school policies and yadda yadda yadda. Then we had a group meeting with out advisors, and my advisor is the fucking best advisor ever. No, really, everyone loves her. She’s awesome. And she knew my name and who I was without me having to introduce myself. She had all her students speak and tell them what they got out of advisement. It was really interesting, actually, because the Columbia advisors seems WAY more hands-on than any other ones I've had. Then we had a financial aid thing and different breakout sessions.
The cool thing was that I socialized. Like, really, I socialized. I must’ve introduced myself to 45 people and exchanged numbers and got business cards (note to self: I need to make moo cards with my info). I met some people I really believe will be friends for a while. It was so cool. And I already have a repuation as a jokester. Me? Jokester? Never. clears throat
They had a welcoming dinner for us at a local Cuban restaurant…tasty! The party ended at 6pm but the group of people I was talking to didn’t leave until 7:30. The poor waitstaff wanted to kill us. :P
Tomorrow is another party and I’m totally going. Eeeeeeeee. :D
