Meathook Reality

On Tuesday, I sat in on an online chat put on my by the school, which did a decent job of answering the usual questions ("Why aren’t my loans processed yet?” “What do the schedules look like?” “How big are the lockers?). I was also excited to find that one of the other students has created a mailing list, which is something that I had thought of doing a while back, but never gotten around to. The most amazing thing was that within 5 minutes of the link to the list being posted, there were 12 members. Within 20 minutes, we had Introduction traffic going around, and before the end of the online chat, we had organized enough to put together a Happy Hour Meet and Greet as a chance for us to get to know each other before school got underway. It also looks as though many of my soon-to-be-co-students (and I hate to say it, competition) are, like me, a little older then average and coming back to school from stints in the real world.

This is going to be much different from my first Freshman year.
