thoughts of my first day of orientation:

- our dean talks like morpheus. all he needed was the morpheus sunglasses and raise his hands more.
- i get a locker again. just like middle school or high school. pretty funny.
- laptops... definitely a nice addition to my hardware wardrobe.
- i joined the ranks and an now playing golf. i bought a set of clubs yesterday and went to the range today. boy do i suck... but must get ready for tournament on friday!
- those nametags that you put in front of you... the ones that i always made fun of haas people about... i guess what goes around comes around.
- speaking of karma, i met my group today... and yes, i have a fob international student girl in my group. she can't speak english... but actually, the funnier story is her trying to drive. she's learning to drive on the right-hand side of the road (she's japanese) AND she's learning how to drive stick at the same time (she didn't know she bought a manual transmission car). i know who's car i'm going in if i get a bad grade on a test.
- speaking of cars, my friend drove into a building today... he accidentally pressed the gas instead of the brake when trying to park. his car is pretty dented and he took a good chunk out of the wood siding. the workers didn't care - cuz the owner wasn't there :-p
- my photo ID has me with a white smear on my lip. it looks like i either have chalk on my face or have a milk mustache but upside down.
- one advisor is only assigned to one group only. how cool is that? he's taking us out to lunch on thursday. how cool is that?
- went to baja fresh today...
"um... i'll have a baja burrito with pollo please."
"that's.... chicken, right?"
"yeah... i think so."
