August 5th - Backdate this entry

I don't really know much about blogging. So, if someone knows how to backdate an entry, by all means let me know how. Thanks!

Anyway....

Orientation started 'yesterday' on the 4th of August. Saturday's events included some optional tours/sessions. The one that I went on included a drive around the area to investigate Alternative Study Spaces (A.S.S.es as I suggested). I'm not much of a 'library guy', so I thought it would be useful....turns out there's nothing really close to the Queen Lane Campus - no little coffee shops on the corner, bookstores...

During the tour, I sat in a car with a 2nd year and 3 other 1st years. That was the more useful part of the excursion. We got to pick our "sage's" brain on a more intimate/informal setting. It was kind of a long afternoon and I started fading out. The radio was playing and The Fray came on...sometimes I feel this way and I blurted it out loud, "Does anyone else feel like the refrain?" I think it's a normal feeling of......anticipation? excitement? anxiety? Maybe a little of everything, but I know it'll be good.

I'm in Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind"
