For the incoming freshman out there...

Have you met your room mate? Gone on orientation? What did you think about it? What classes are you taking? Are you pumped for the fall semester? Just wondering what all of your feelings are about starting college.... I met one of my room mates the other day and Im quite excited. He is a really cool kid and I feel I can get along with him greatly; all of our interests are the same. I didnt make it to my orientation because I was on vacation and missed class sign ups so Im stuck taking fucking "Gender Issues in Society." ed: Im going up to VT tomorrow to check out my room (hopefully). I really lucked out by getting into a suite with a private bathroom. Im pretty bummed about my class options though. Tues and Thurs I have Ancient/Med civilizations, then Early Latin American History (these two from 8-11). M, W, Fri I have My first year seminar Drama and Culture (sigh) at 12:30 - 1:20 and then this Gender class at 2. Bummed about waking up early on tues and thurs but it might be better..getting it out of the way early; also since my class is so late in the day friday I can go out on thirsty thursday. I think this is what my schedule is going to be...

Haven't met my roomate, I think I find out who he is in a couple weeks.

Orientation was 3 days, and was not fun at all imo. I also have a "first week" program where all the freshmen are in school a couple days before the rest of the school. I was around for class sign ups but I still got screwed and am not thrilled with my schedule, but oh well, who is?

VT = Virginia Tech, or you just talking about a college in Vermont? I'm going to Bentley College in MA.

You lucked out getting a suite with a private bathroom, I don't think that's an option for me till later on.

Seniors...or Super seniors for 5th year students happy:

And judas, I have to take 9 credits in the Science field. I didn't want to take a hard class like Chem or a Physics course so I opted with the environment thing. I had "Energy and the Environment" and "Safety Science" (damn hard field to major in contrary to the sound of it. You have to know a lot of chem and physics and start out with a $65k salary ed: ) and I totally enjoyed those classes. You learn some interesting things about alternative energy sources and things of that sort. My professor had been working with the government for 10 years or so with finding alternative energies for transportation.

ummm im like goin to cuesta community college.. taking like 3 classes, each one is about 3 hours a week.. which really is a full load at ccc because so much work is done in a week, but my dad expects me to take like 6 classes like highschool, which he considers a "full load".. and it looks like im paying for it myself because he wont pay for it unless im taking a "full load".. rolleyes:
