-- Posted by JMACCA at 3:35 am on July 14, 2008 I have an overnight college orientation today. I leave at 7:45 this morning because it starts at nine. It's over at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. We stay up at the school in a dorm. I'm kinda nervous about ass the placement tests, and not knowing anyone. I just hope I'm gonna know where I'm supposed to go, and who I'm supposed to talk to, and what I'm supposed to do. I don't want to do something wrong, and end up having fucked up when it comes time to start school. -- Posted by Aqueous at 3:36 am on July 14, 2008 Oh is that where you like go and live with a student for a day? -- Posted by JMACCA at 3:37 am on July 14, 2008 Quote: from jzbaby at 6:36 am on July 14, 2008 Oh is that where you like go and live with a student for a day? No. I'm not shadowing someone. This is orientation. You take placement tests, and register for your classes, and "get used to" living at school. -- Posted by Scarlet Tears at 3:38 am on July 14, 2008 Sounds scary and fun at the same time. -- Posted by pwincess unome at 3:39 am on July 14, 2008 good luck have fun -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 5:11 pm on July 14, 2008 My orientation was pretty awesome. I met one of my best friends there on my first day. I was walking around with a friend from high school and telling random jokes and I kept hearing someone walking behind us laughing. Since the only real criteria to be friends with me is to find things I say to be funny, an instant bond was forged. So, what I'm saying is, stories about my life are interesting. But also, look at orientation as an opportunity to mingle with folks and learn about your upcoming college adventure. Don't worry much about placement tests. The worst thing that could happen is that you do too well and get jammed into a class that is too challenging to handle. Just do what you can and you'll be matched up with courses on your level and everything will be A-OK.
