Orientation was so longggg...Michelle told me it was at 8am but the paper said 8:30am...thankfully my search for parking and walking resulted in my showing up in between those times, lol.
Met a lot of people, it was fun, and some parts were really boring...typical. It was also really hot and crowded outside...OSU is humungous.
Then got my buck ID after some time of wandering...it looks good, thankfully. Then went to the bank...home...
SUNBATHED. yes. I am back to the shade I am normally at during this time of the year. And, it felt awesome out in the sun.
Roomie and I then went to the CAM Asian Supermarket which was awesome. We should've found it earlier cus a lot of stuff is cheaper! bought some good food. She bought a bamboo.
Got stressed in the evening.
Trying to figure out my whole grad school thing, may graduate later if I add the global health interdisciplinary program thing, need to find a GA position of some sort to help fund my education, need to find internships/volunteer opportunities to make the most of my time here...something like that. I can't figure out how competitive my field really is right now but I do know that in the program, the range in demographics is very broad. I feel VERY young. There are a lot of people who already have experience..like they just graduated med school, were doctors, did extensive medical research already with multiple degrees, were paramedics, worked in the field for a while but want more...etc. Then there's some of us undergrads who just graduated...and we look like freshman all over again, actually people just think we're freshman anyway.
So...here's to the next two-three years of grad school and finding my place in life with the help of some awesome new friends and hard work bc biostats? oh boy....
