Well, I made it to Michigan. I had the route on my iphone GPS, I had the directions printed out sitting in the passenger seat AND I was following up another student from Lexington. As I passed into each state I held up my iPhone and took a video of the state sign for the boys. I was super nervous as we were going around Cincy but we made it just fine.
The rooms up here are super sucky. Seriously, the dorms I stayed in when I was a freshman at EKU were much better than this. Old, kind of looks like a prison cell and no air conditioning. I was tired from driving all day, hungry and HOT moving all my crap to the second floor so I was not in the best mood. Things have started looking better though. I will be in class until either 6 pm or 8 pm each day so by 8 it starts cooling off some. As long as this fan doesn't break down in the middle of the night I should be good.
Today is orientation all day. Basically, they are reviewing things that they could have emailed out to us or things that they have ALREADY emailed out to us. I hate being read to when they have already sent the info but it is fun to people watch.
I am NOT the oldest one here. There are quite a few people older than me so that makes me feel better.
The funny thing about today is that we had to go around the room and introduce ourselves. These people like to hear themselves talk. I know way too much about these people. Introductions took FOREVER. Like close to 30 minutes when they only has 10 minutes on the schedule for it. I was short and sweet... Krista, from Ky, in the TVI program. Ok, not really that short. I figured that since these people were droning on about everything they had ever done or thought I would too but I was still much faster than these other people.
I'm trying to figure out this one guy. I have seen him for 3 days and he always wears tan. Like, tan button down top, tan shorts, tan socks, tan shoes and yesterday he had a tan safari hat. When I saw him I looked around to see if there were any elephants or if maybe I had accidentally ended up in Africa on safari. No hat today but I can't wait to see if he wears tan every single day. He is kind of goofy and walks like his shoes are too big. He seems nice but just a little weird. But I was digging the safari hat. Might have to go get one of those. OH, I know, he is a cross between safari and the crocodile guy except he tucks his shirt in (like WAY in, not a good look).
Off to walk back to the classroom building for more orientation. At least this time we are divided into groups based on our area so I will be with all the TVI students. Hopefully they will go over all the stuff for classes so I can kind of be prepared for tomorrow. And I have to figure out where one of my classes is at. It is on the other side of campus (by the way, this campus is HUGE. The town is kind of like Richmond but this campus is spread out like UK. It would take me 45 minutes or more to walk to the other side.).
