So today was my orientation at university for my bachelor's degree and I am just so happy to have the hardest part over. I'm all registered, I have my student ID, I got my loans and all done, and I just...feel so happy that I'm here finally.

Also I got my books ordered and it's kind of a funny story; so my dad went with me today and he just said "I hope your books are only ten bucks." I didn't think that it would be, as I'm a graphic design major going onto an internship (hopefully) and in my years of going to community college, the books for my studies are always through the roof price wise and I could never rent them, get an e-book version or even get them used.

So we go to the library and we look up all my classes to get all my books and...I only had one book required that was $13

I have never had to pay that little for textbooks during a semester so my dad was almost crying in the library and thanking god for it

I also have a really good person from the graphic design department advising me, he knew the department head from my community college and was glad that I already had all my entry-level classes for GDT done

I have classes on Wednesday-Thursday and my Fridays and weekends are free :D

I have another orientation the Friday before classes start in August and I'm looking forward to it! I'll be going back frequently til then to familiarize myself with the area and the campus itself, and I'll have to talk to the Disability Support people; although I hope to not need any accommodations, I'd rather be safe than sorry

I'm looking forward to trying to intern, I couldn't do it this semester even if I was ready because I doubt first-semester students rarely get those but I'll be able to get more experience til then!
