So, we needed to be ready to start the day at 6:45, which is ridiculous enough as a teenager, but as someone who is sick and needs sleep, it was downright awful. Seeing as how I was still unable to fall back asleep at 5:30 and my alarm was set for 6, I took a shower then and was able to enjoy a long, hot, quiet shower without having to worry about my roommates morning routines. I went to the caf and ate average tasting fruit salad and strange tasting apple juice. Perhaps the repeated taking of gross tasting cough medicine and cough drops had permanently damaged my taste buds. That would be awful!
It was a long, tired day of being talked at and needlessly swimming through the humidity from assembly room to assembly room. We got to choose workshops to sit through giving information about sports or clubs or service opportunities etc. It was in the seminar on how to use the university's website that I found out that, as an honors student, my first trimester would be academic, not culinary classes. So, any real culinary blogging will be postponed even further.
Anyway, we then had a closing speech from some person and they showed "a secret surprise" that was made of the "secret pictures" and "secret video" they had taken of us during our orientation. If we had actually had more time to have fun and bond with the people, it could have been really nice. Instead, it was just mildly weird and rather awkward. Then, there was a cookout. For a culinary school, the food was only okay. We took dessert in the car and headed out.
So, yeah. It was good not great. A way to know people and make friends before move in and get the awkwardness of first introductions out of the way, but that's about it.
