So...it's been FOREVER since i've updated. So far the summer has been good. I've been relaxing and hanging out with friends so i can't complain. Today I got back from my orientation at Wisconsin and a visit with my relatives in Chicago. Orientation was very helpful and made me excited to start in 6 weeks or however long it is. My mom and i flew into Chicago Wednesday afternoon and we drove up to Wisconsin. We got there at around 4 o'clock and spent some time looking at stores on State Street and walking around campus. At night we went to the terrace on the lake and watched open mic night which a lot of fun. That night i stayed in the dorm by myself since i was there a day early and i'll admit i was bored out of my mind. The next morning i took placement tests at 8:30 am. The tests were an hour and a half each! (a little excessive if you ask me but they weren't that hard) There were planned activities for the rest of the day (walking around campus and hearing presentations about the school) and at night there was time for us to play pool and stuff and get to meet people. Friday morning started bright and early and we spent from 8 until 2 meeting with our advisors and making our schedules. I'm pretty happy with the classes i ended up with and i'm excited to go to school and start this new chapter of my life. Friday night my mom and i drove to Chicago and we spent the weekend with my aunt, uncle and cousins. It was great seeing them and i'm glad they're only gonna be a 2 hour drive from me at Wisconsin.
That's it for now...
