More Preparations
I spent the majority of today at SIU. My mother went with me, but didn't go to the things I did. I had this Orientation to go to, for the College of Science. So, I got to sit around for two hours listening to each of the Department heads talk. Rather boring, but it could easily have been worse. After Orientation, I headed over to the Student Center to meet my mother for lunch (she'd been shopping ^^;;) I wasn't all that hungry, so I just snacked a bit.
After lunch, we walked around the campus a bit, so we could find my classes. Luckily, most of them are pretty close together. There's only one time that I have very far to go between classes, and that's only one day a week. I'm glad that we actually went into the buildings and found the rooms; I swear, some of those buildings are like rabbit warrens! There's no apparent rhyme or reason to the structuring. =P We did manage to find everything, though.
After that, we headed back to the Student Center for the Job Fair. Yeah, I have to get a job. Since I have to have one anyway, I'd rather work at the University than somewhere off campus. I filled out several applications, so hopefully I'll get hired somewhere.
By the time we were finished there, we were both hot, exhausted, and in some form of pain. So, we left. By then, I was hungry, so we headed to that wonderful Chinese restaurant that we love so much. We both had sweet and sour chicken (big surprise =P). I felt better after eating, though it did make me sleepy. ^^;; So, we picked up some fast food for the rest of the family and headed home.
Now, I'm just trying to get everything in order. What books I need on what days, when I get lunch, etc. Classes start on Monday, so I'm trying not to stay up late anymore. =P I guess I may as well stop worrying over things and go to bed. After all, I can always worry in the morning. ^^;;
