SOARin'

Graduation has come and gone & i've decided that i'm going to start blogging again..... okay so maybe attempt would be a better word for it. I've never been good at it.

I went to SOAR (student Orientation advising and registration) at USU on Wednesday. It was:
1. Uber (isn't this a fun word?!) informative.
2. Ridiculously tiring
3. A relief in many ways. but...
4. Pretty dang fuN too!



The first thing we got handed was THIS sucker. the guy told me be prepared to read the whole thing during SOAR and that's why it was 6 hours long. Okay well me not understanding his sense of humor i'm sure i looked frightened and then he laughed and i took it as a mighty relief. Dumb kid. way to make me NOT want to go college. gee whiz.
basically this whale of a book has a description of every class, every major's requirements, every rule, every EVERYTHING that the school offers. so i guess i shouldn't complain. I'll probably become BFFFF's with this book between now and four years.


I also got my picture taken for my ID card!! alright so what might i be able to do with said card? not much until school starts...... but i am looking forward to being able to whip this baby out at the dollar theatre (liars... they charge 1.75 now!!) and say slice the price to 1.25 baby!! I'm a LEGIT student now. And guess what?! they can't even tell me "shove it" like they did with my high school ID!! So all in all this whole college student ID thing is spectacular!


I also got USU's version of the "stocker guide". Although it doesn't have everyone's phone numbers like OHS's did but it does have useful information that doesn't include the "DRSL'S" (can i sing a song of joy and happiness?!) But it DOES however give a "flow chart" of something that i don't understand EXCEPT!!!... that it says if i got above a 25 on the math section on the ACT and my major doesn't require anymore math then I NEVER have to take a math class in college!!!! Well i thought this was too good to be true so i asked someone that looked official there and they said i was correct. So i think i might love this confusing "flow chart" after all. :D

I have one more piece of really really good news!! So some letter that some person sent from USU one day to me said that my major required art students to take twenty something credits of a foreign language. Which really made me sweat! Because i have taken four years of Spanish and all i know and understand is "mi bano es tu bano"... more or less. Well apparently they had sent me the requirement for an art history major and not a photography major! So all in all i don't have to take any foreign language credits!! This made the 4 hour roundtrip drive worth it!


after we filled out our survey's on how to make SOAR better we ate our "Aggie icecream" which is muy good! :D
then Betys and I went to this lovely children's park, ate our wendy's, and played amongst the 3 year olds out with their parents.

SO excited for the end of August!!! College is going to be a blast and a half!
