End of Day One.

Now that I've been all orientated, I can say with even greater confidence that this is going to be a lot of fun. Of course, not every part of orientation is grand. We still had to do the cheesy icebreakers, we still had to go through the many many many rules of life at Gov School. I'm glad to have it out of the way, for sure. We started off by meeting in "the nook," a little alcove by the majority of our wing's rooms, at 4, then we set off to the second floor courtyard (how do you mean....grass? on the roof?) to play some teambuilding games (two truths and a lie mostly). Then we had dinner at the Cathederal Cafe, which is on the bottom floor of the Cathedral of learning....an absolutely awesome building. Then it was off to Police Orientation (ie doodle all over the safety guidlines time), Ice Breakers (they were succesful in stimulating conversation...about how ridiculous ice breaker activities are), and Residential Orientation, during which all of our RTAs told stories about funny experiences abroad. Finally, we headed back down Forbes Avenue, up to our 4th floor nook to get the last of the logistics out of the way.

So now, it's time to chill, work on homework, and stay up hanging out with Chao (awesome roomie!), preparing for another exciting day in Pittsburgh.

A Scholarly Goodnight to All.
