Orientation is over. I am kind of sad, since I enjoyed having the freedom to explore Dartmouth and Hanover without the stress of homework. On the other hand, I'm so relieved to just dive into the ocean of knowledge that my first term classes offer. I will be in GRK 1 (Introductory Greek) with Perry, WRIT 5 (Medical Ethics) with Kremer, and CLST 11 (Sparta: Birth and Death of an Empire) with Christesen. I am so excited!!!
Book shopping was a bit of a challenge. I went to Wheelock Books and the Dartmouth Bookstore with my roommate and a couple friends and gathered the necessary materials for Greek 1 and Writing 5. I must say, the others had an easier time than I did. Apparently the CLST 11 professor never placed orders for the textbooks, so I'll have to wait until class and see what he recommends.
I am not proud to report that I was rejected from the Decibelles at 5 AM this morning, and stayed awake for the rest of the time watching their Youtube performances and crying like a total loser. I'll be moving on to the Subtleties auditions. I can't say that I am at all pumped about the callback, since I am just exhausted from the past few days. We shall see what happens, whether good or bad.
Perhaps I'll be lucky to not be accepted into an a capella group, since I have to commit to a work study. This morning I had a meeting at the Hood Museum for a data entry position in the registrar office. Later, the person emailed me offering 7 hours per week! I am so happy, but I still have to contemplate this and consider the other employment opportunities around campus which may suit my class schedule a little better.
Goodnight!

Also, I should make a note that my posts are going to be a whole lot shorter now that my time will be filled with assignments, and studying, and papers, etc. :)
Your not a loser, that was a big deal for you so it's fine that you were upset for a little bit. But it's also good to see you happy for your classes and what not. Make to tell me all about them later :)
