Day One

Orientation was scheduled to start at 1:30 PM and I wanted to get there early so I could pick up some notebooks and maybe a t shirt.  I left the house at 10am, and after a quick breakfast stop at Bojangles for a Cajun Chicken filet biscuit, I was en route in Mom's Sebring with the following CD's on full blast:

1. Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell

2. Trio

3. Everly Brothers

4. Disneyworld Anniversary CD

5. A silly mix I'd made for mom and dad some time ago

6. KT Oslin's 80's Ladies (yup, I'm serious)

The drive went well and, per Theresa's instructions ("Just take Science Drive; it's in the 180s"), I started to pay attention to the exit signs at Exit 180.  Oops.  When I got to Exit 190 and was pretty sure I had driven past Durham, I turned around. And I drove back.  All the way to Exit 170.  

Wasn't planning on the extra 40 miles of driving, so I skipped going to the Bookstore.  Oh well.  

I went straight to the business school, checked in, and headed to the dining room.  I have no idea who I sat with for lunch, but we didn't talk much because orientation was starting shortly.  Off to the giant conference room for 3 hours of, well, orientation (it's pictured at right).

It's late, I'm tired, and am going to bed.  More on orientation and everything else tomorrow.
