what a great day!

we had the entire School of Public Health orientation this morning and then the Nutrition portion of the division of Community Health and Epidemiology this afternoon. It went well and we had a LOT of information thrown at us. after we were officially finished, my new friend Courtney and I decided to take the campus by storm and get a few needed things done. we trekked to the student union and made our ID cards.... she filled out info for a bus pass... and then we trekked over to the health center to make appointments to get our TB tests done. we're not allowed to start on our semester's field experiences until we do. It felt REALLY good to get some of the lingering things done. it also felt AWESOME to navigate the campus without too many issues. it's nice to have someone with you to discuses which direction you think things are in... and it seemed so much less intimidating. i also did NOT get another parking ticket today and actually found free parking. and i'm definitely getting more use to CRAZY big-city traffic. and then i rewarded myself with frenchfries :)
