Orientation was the normal boring talks.  The only real exciting part was finally meeting my future classmates.  They broke us down into 3 sections, A B C.  I am a member of section B.  Everyone in section B has the same class schedule.  For orientation they broke us down even further.  I was in section B6 and we were able to interact with an even smaller group.  I’ve already been assigned readings and we had to do a two part written diagnostic to determine if we are capable of writing.  They are trying to find people who can’t write and assign them free tutoring services.  The first part was an hour long prompt during orientation.  The second part is a take home version due next week.  The prompt asks a question, gives you pages of supporting documentation, and you write your opinion backed up by the supporting documentation.  I hope I actually write decently and don’t need any more extra work.  I read some of the assignments and it took me a long time.  My contracts professor assigned about 40 pages of reading for day 1.  He seems to be the more into jumping right into it.  Another professor assigned some work and stated that the first day discussion was to simply gauge how fast the class would move this semester which put me more at ease.  Good luck to me!  90% of the people aren’t in the top ten percent.  That’s a pretty tiny chance I’ll be there at the top, but I guess it all depends on how hard I can work.  I’ve never been a great worker so odds are against me.  I’ll at least give it a try.
