Orientation

Today we had Orientation for all the international students. I am definately on information overload! It was nice to get all the information finally. Tomorrow we'll go to information sessions on the classes that we're thinking about taking and then on Monday we'll start going to our "trial" classes. It'll be interesting to see if the classes I looked at will work. I hope that they are not at the same time, since they were pre-approved by the registrar!

I also found out about getting involved on campus at NUIG today. Let's just say, I really want to do a lot of stuff.. They have something called SOC day coming up which will be nice where all the societies will have information and we can see what we want to do. I'm thinking about possibly doing choir or being involved in the International Student Society. There are also a lot of opportunities to volunteer that I thought could be pretty fun as well. The student life seems like it will be kind of like Concordia with lots to do and a lot of people getting involved. We'll see what comes about with all this stuff. I'm going to figure out my classes first and go from there!

After orientation we walked into the city centre to get a few things. I bought a new rain jacket because I'm getting sick of carrying my umbrella all the time! The weather here is very different throughout the day. It'll be rainy, sunny, rainy and sunny at the same time all in one day. We decided to take the bus home because we were just pooped!

Tonight there is karaoke on campus that a bunch of people from the village I live in are going to. It should be a good time!
