Awesome.

We also start Tuesday. I haven't even recovered from my finals that ended December 15th.

Wow, I start on the 20th. I'm planning these last few days of freedom. Good luck, have a wonderful semester.

Jealous. Very, very jealous. I haven't recovered yet either.

And by coffe, I mean coffee. It's been a long day.

good job LSU.. Bo Wallace is a lil BITCH

I am sorry for your loss(es).

I'm really sorry for your loss

My condolences. I hope you are getting the support you need during this difficult time.

Yeah, you can't really get around that part, unless you can use an old prescription (assuming your vision hasn't changed that much). There might be a small fee to get another copy though.

If there is an optometry program offered at a nearby school, try to find out if they offer cheap vision exams. I remember once going to a dental clinic and got a wisdom tooth removed from a medical student. Only $25 per tooth and $10 for the X-ray. What a bargain!

I feel you! The poverty is strong with me too, cant afford the dentist for new fillings

I'm sorry

Sorry

Ohhhh teach me oh great one, on how to forget about reading and going to bed. I have not heard of this, but I want to learn!

Quite simply, close the book and say screw it.

Lots of that going on over here. Perhaps a little to much.

Have you ever tried meditation or practicing mindfulness?

Or addies.

Contemplating the addies. I've had a bit of heart trouble lately, so probably not the best of ideas. As for meditation, that's an epic negative ghost rider.

I would die

wait only 16 cr? for me that'd be around 21. different fields I suppose

The credit system/the way things are weighted is a little different here.

Beginning to feel better. As long as I don't sneeze or yawn. Just in time...

Please let us know how things went today.

Felt a million percent better today (almost 100%) and orientation went great! Thanks for the well wishes, yall.

Oh I know the feeling!

Amen, dude.

I'm to broke as Izzy Azalea is to fancy.

Meetup.com?

I went to two new groups over the course of the three weeks I've been here. I even went to the first group a second time. Problem is, it's painfully awkward. I am very social and enjoy meeting new people, but it seems like the new people aren't as open to new-comers. Only a few will introduce themselves, most don't want to have a conversation with the new girl, etc. It's awkward and uncomfortable, but I'm still getting out there and trying to make it work.

It's difficult, but NOLA is a big city, so you'll meet someone who understands your awkward soon.

I don't really have any feelings about packing. I mean you do it because you have to do it. I have, however, gotten cold feet in the past before making a major move.

I'm not bitching out, and I'm not going somewhere totally foreign, but it's still enough out of my comfort zone that it's making me sad/nervous. I'll be fine once I get there, I'm sure. Moving sucks.

And I'm moving to NY for school in 5 weeks. From halfway across the globe.

You'll be in good company.

Have you picked a school?

Lol, of course not.

Me too! And I'm sure most of GC is and your advisors and professors will be too! You can do it.

I know that feeling but I think it does get better.

I support you!

Check out this thread. I think you have to request access.

Munashi is correct. You need to request access. Usually the blogs are opened in late fall.

Deep breath. Relax. Everything will work out.
