awkward and interesting......

okay...so finally moved into the dorms and got everything settled (sort of). It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. My dad took a day off work to help me move (how sweet) and mom got everything settled in the room for me (wow I'm so dependent). I didn't think I was going to have enough space in my double room, but it turns out there was more space than I needed to fit all of my stuff. Besides that, i like my roommate as well (not that anyone else cares).

Anyway, had my orientation yesterday for school. Oh my god, first four hours of gruelling experience where I had to listen to every department from financial aid to people who fix the computer...after an hour of active listening all I remember was blah blah blah blah.........
Then was four hours of Occupational therapy department orientation, which surprisingly seemed to go a lot faster and was somewhat interesting. It was just basic introduction to the program (mostly technical stuff), professors (I like them so far), and other student. During the student orientation each one of has had to stand up and introduce ourselves (I hate speaking in public) it was awkward, but everyone seems nice and hopefully I get more relaxed next time (was so nervous).

Okay, enough about me. SO we were given our schedule for first year: anatomy and physiology w/ lab; foundation of ot w/ lab; research methodology; therapeutic media and kinesiology and biomechanics w/ lab. Everyone I've talked to so far says that it is very intense but the overachiever that i am, I'm also working around 15 hours a week. The cool thing is that I get paid to study, well at least that's what my boss said. Cannot wait to get back into the school mode and work. I just love the rush of studying all night before exams, rushing to do the paper (hopefully, I don't procrastinate like undergrad), doing research, going to the lab. WOW I am such a NERD.

Anyway, gotta go and pack. I packed my books, my roommate is saying I'm not gona touch those books, but darn it I'm gona consciously make an effort to TOUCH the books (I paid a lot of money for them). Yeh four day weekend. Will definitely start writing on regular basis about the fun/hard/interesting ot stuff (less about my personal life)....maybe....
