one orientation down, one to go...
Yesterday was the School of Social Work's new student orientation. It was quite humbling to feel like a new student in a school where I just spent the past four years. They handed me my orientation folder with a plethora of vibrant colored sheets of paper, all filled with important information. Seriously 20 trees probably gave their life for the benefit of this orientation.
I got to meet a lot of people in my "cohort" (what the school calls our class) and it was great to hear everyone's stories. We all come from such different backgrounds, but all have a connection through this school, the atmosphere was so comfortable. The first 2 hours were a bit overwhelming, especially since I am doing the dual degree program, thus it's taking me 4 years to go through all of this instead of 2. We eventually broke into 4 smaller groups and my group consisted of all the dual degree students. Apparently I wasn't the only one who was overwhelmed, and we spent an hour discussing the intricate way we are going to fit 2 masters into 4 years...I'm not sure I understand it completely, but it felt better just talking about it.
This degree is going to be so much fun! I didn't realize how big the field of social work is, and it is going to be difficult to decide what I want to do with my life! Oh well, at least I have four years!
Truett orientation starts Thursday, and I couldn't be more excited!
*note to self, the seminary building is the coldest place on campus...even colder than the school of music. A jacket is a must! oh and socks!
