Finding Nemo moment

First day of SCHOOL!!! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

five more minutes.....


First day of graduate school today. Of course it's 8:00am now and I've been up since 5:30am and when is my first class? 5:45pm.

So sitting through orientation this past week...first off, let me just say that grad school orientation lasted maybe 5 hours total over two days. compared to undergraduate orientation where you have to follow the stupid person in a bright yellow t-shirt around for hours and hours with the same people that you will have to live with the rest of the year, and you realize about 30 seconds into the first stupid name game that you are going to hate all of them as of that moment. Grad school is AWESOME!!

so sitting through orientation this past week, they told me that I would get mym first client in two weeks. I'M SORRY WHAT!?!?! TWO WEEKS!!! Shouldn't I take more classes first? I'm so not qualified to have a client in the field that I will be working in AFTER I graduate. haven't graduated yet. probably shouldn't put someone's ability to communicate in my hands. apparently I have no choice.

I was half an hour late to the first day of orientation. I sit down and they announce that we are all going to take the PRAXIS II exam right then. WHAT?!?! isn't that the exam we take when we graduate? yeah. THEN WHY THE HELL ARE WE TAKING IT NOW?

it actually made taking the exam less scary because I walked into it completely unprepared and wasn't completely lost the entire time. most of the time I was though. The answers were in the back of the book. Wish I had known that before.

I'm listening to the new Imogen Heap album thanks to Aaron. thank you aaron.

So of the 31 people in my cohort, 30 are female. this will be interesting. if you haven't noticed, females 10 times out of 10 1/2...well...hate me. fun fun.

I did a pretty good job avoiding people during orientation. but I figured that when they all showed up for dinner at the restaurant I work at and I was off, I should go sit with them. I survived. had more beer than I usually enjoy though. my stomach is pissed at me today for that. beer and I don't mix very well. too heavy. wine.

I think I'm going to take a nap
